Achmore, a district of Weem parish, Perthshire, adjacent to Killin, and extending thence 2 miles eastward along the river Dochart and Loch Tay. It is chiefly pastoral, but has a considerable amount of wood. Achmore House (Earl of Breadalbane), in a fine park, was converted about 1873 from ' a nice little cottage ' into a stately château. The Queen rowed up to it from Taymouth, 10 Sept. 1842.
