Re place ñame Acha ..
Information from ‘Place-Names of the Parish of Killean & Kilchenzie’ compiled by Angus Martin and published by the Kintyre Antiquarian & Natural History Society in 2014:
according to this Acha is Achavrauladale near Lagloskin and Ulladale ... maybe located in GR7247 on present day OS maps.
Mr Martin gives references to place-names: two of them are for ‘your’ Iver McCallum.

Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.

Thanks, Guys, much obliged. It seems my ancestors lived in the wildest places. You have all helped me move this forward a bit.
