Achvaich is a remote crofting settlement in the Dornoch area of Sutherland. It is found in the hills, on the north bank of the River Evelix, almost four miles north of the Dornoch Firth at the end of a dead-end road leading up the glen of the Evelix from Sutherland's east coast road.

The wee town of Dornoch, on the coast, is almost six miles to the south-east of Achvaich.
