In 1882-4, Frances Groome's Ordnance Gazetteer of Scotland described Achriesgill like this:
Achriesgill, a hamlet and a rivulet in the NW of Sutherland. The hamlet lies at the head of Loch Inchard, 13 miles SSW of Durness. The rivulet has a run of about 7 miles north-north-westward to the head of Loch Inchard, makes some pretty cascades over high rocks in its channel, and traverses a little strath nearly all heathy or pastoral.
