Achiltibuie (; Scottish Gaelic: Aichilidh Bhuidhe) is a long linear village in Ross and Cromarty, Highland, on the Coigach coast of northwestern Scotland, overlooking Badentarbet Bay to the west. Loch Broom and the Summer Isles lie to the south. Located 10 miles (16 km) northwest of Ullapool as the crow flies. Achiltibuie is the central community of a series of townships and communities stretching from Culnacraig, through Badenscallie and Polglass (where the community hall, the primary school and the Piping School Cafe are located), Polbain, and Reiff to Achnahaird.

Background
History
The first post office in the village opened on 28 July 1884. The name is said to come from Gaelic Achd Ille Bhuidhe - the field of the blond lad - but this is just folk etymology and it actually comes from the Gaelic Aichilidh Bhuidhe.
