From the Wikipedia article
Auchlyne (Scottish Gaelic: Achadh Loinne) is a small hamlet in Stirling, Scotland. It is located approximately five miles west of Killin on Loch Tay, off the main A85 road that runs from Perth to Oban. It consists of 3 houses, a large mansion house (complete with adjoining servants quarters, walled garden and kennels) and a farm, and has 10 permanent residents. There is also an Auchlyne in Guyana.

There is also an Auchlyne Estate, which is governed by the Scottish Congregational Church.
