We met a Scottish lassie some years back

I was searching for ‘Achmelvich, Scotland’ as MrGoodieFoodie ( @JimBo452020) has been writing about his holiday experiences in Scotland. Our son ‘woofed’on the west coast in the late 1990s. He was based just outside a village called Achmelvich. WOOF stands for ‘willing workers on organic farms’. We switch now to the Nullarbor Plain in Australia. There was a Scottish girl serving in one of the road houses, and she and Vin were chatting about the west coast of Scotland and Lochinvar was mentioned. The girl said she was from near there but she hadn’t met anyone who had ever heard of her village. It turned out the place was ‘Achmelvich’. The girl was blown away and thrilled to bits to learn that we’d been there. She was a very long way from home. The photo is from the croft where our son was working. There used to be a small mill here. If you look carefully, just to the left of the circular ruins, you might be able to see a grinding stone.
