Achnacraig or Auchnacraig, a hamlet in Torosay parish, island of Mull, Argyllshire, on the coast, at Loch Don, 8½ miles W by N of Oban. It has a post office with money order, savings' bank, and telegraph departments, under Oban, an inn, and a small harbour: and is the principal ferry-station of Mull, first to the opposite island of Kerrera, a distance of about 4½ miles, and thence to the mainland near Oban, a distance of 4 miles. Great numbers of black cattle are conveyed from it for the lowland markets: and formerly those also from Coll and Tiree were landed on the further side of Mull, and here reshipped.
