One refernce I found to Achynachy was "an old ruinous house, two miles south-west from the church, where the parish borders that of Botriphny." The parish referred to is Keith, Banffshire and this extract is quoted from "Illustrations of the Topography and Antiquities of the Shires of Aberdeen and Banff" by Joseph Robertson, 1869. Auchinachy is mentioned on page 241 and this section seems to be, in turn, quoted from Macfarlane's Geographical Collections for Scotland A.D. MDCCXL11 which, I think, is 1742 though, I'm sure someone will correct me if otherwise! Hope this is of some help to someone.

Yes, that's the one in the parish of Keith. http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/338274 Anne
