It refers to the Appin Murder of May 1752 which took place in tumultuous aftermath of the Jacobite Rising of 1745. James Stewart (also known as Seumas a' Ghlinne (James of the Glen) was found guilty in a notorious miscarriage of justice. Achnidarroch is documented as a place with a legal servant named McKenzie stopped off at in a search to find James Stewart, eventually finding him sowing seeds at Acharn. Historically, the estate was owned by the Campbell family. The house of Achindarroch is located on the banks of the Crinan Canal.
