Old photograph of Acharacle, Ardnamurchan, Lochaber, Scotland. The name of this Scottish hamlet means Torquil's ford, following a battle in 1120 at a nearby ford across the River Shiel between the Celtic-Norse warrior Somerled and the Norse invader Torquil. Here, Torquil was killed in the battle and his followers ousted from the area.
