According to John Thomson's 1832 Atlas of Scotland, the Inn of Achavanich was adjacent to the east side of the main Latheron-Thurso road near where the side road to Lybster is now(not shown on Thomson's map), and therefore near the school. I can only remember the school and the farm at that location. It may well be that the Inn was where the farmhouse is now. That is the case a few miles further north, at Mybster Inn. I see in the 1841 census, Alexander Forbes(60), publican, Achavanich. Your ancestor?
