Achmore (Scots Gaelic Acha Mòr) (English: "big field") is a hamlet located close to the south shore of Loch Carron, approximately seven miles east of the village of Plockton near Stromeferry and within the Highland Council area, Scotland.
It is known for its shinty-playing family, the 'Ach' Macraes, who use the diminutive 'Ach' to distinguish themselves from other septs of Macraes in the area. Members of the family include Johnny 'Ach' Macrae and his brother, Neil 'Ach' Macrae, who both played for Kinlochshiel Shinty Club.
