Achnahannet (Scottish Gaelic: Achadh na h-Annaid)[1] is a hamlet located northwest of Dulnain Bridge, and three and a half miles west-south-west of Grantown-on-Spey,[2] in the historical county of Morayshire, now in the Highland Council area, Scotland. Historically it belonged to the parish of Cromdale.[3]

The name, recorded as Auchnahannatt in 1589, means 'field of the mother church', from the Gaelic words achadh 'field' na h- 'of the' and annaid 'mother church, early church.[4][3] An old chapel and a well named Tobar an Domhnaich is located nearby.[3]

Geography[edit]

Achnahannet Burn flows in the area; it is a tributary of the River Dulnain.[5] The land westward from Achnahannet to Lynmore contains a belt of morainic sands and gravels between the River Dulnain terraces.[6]
