Hi Pam, In my Topographical Dictionary of Scotland, by Lewis, I found an ORCHARTON Bay, Sorbie. Sorbie is a parish in the district of Machers, county of Wigtown. KIRKINTILLOCH is a burgh of barony and a parish in the county of Dumbarton. Sorry I couldn't find anything about Archardton.

I suspect this was a farm or estate as my great-great grandfather, ARCHIBALD MCINTYRE was a ploughman there in 1860. Any help with this location would be greatly appreciated.
