Achall, a lake in Lochbroom parish, Ross-shire, about 3 miles W of Ullapool. It is skirted by the road from Ullapool to Oikel Bridge: it measures about 2½ miles in length, and upwards of 1 mile in breadth: it is embosomed variously in wooded promontories, green hills,and rugged heights: and, under some aspects, it is one of the prettiest pieces of water in the Highlands. It abounds with salmon and trout, and is preserved, forming parts of the Duchess of Sutherland's Rhidorroch deer forest.
