Achadhchullin?

[culikm]

I'm researching my Kintyre ancestors. I've found my 2x great grandfather Duncan Bruce living in Skipness parish in 1841 (Scottish census). The transcription says his address was "Achadhchullin." Does anyone know of this place? Maybe it is a misspelling or faulty transcription? I'm coming to Kintyre to visit in September and would like to be able to check out some specific family spots. Any information would be appreciated. Thank you!

That will probably be Auchachuillin near Escart Farm on the B842. It's about 2 miles or so south of the Claonaig ferry terminal.

Hope that helps.

Thank you for the quick reply! I also had some other information about ancestors living at Escairt cottage, so your answer helped me kill two birds with one stone when I saw that on the same map. Thanks again.
