Na Gruagaichean, Mountain summit in Mamores range, Highland, Scotland
Na Gruagaichean reaches an elevation of 1,056 meters and features two distinct peaks connected by a ridge in the Scottish Highlands terrain.
The construction of an aluminum smelter near Kinlochleven in the early 1900s transformed the region at the base of Na Gruagaichean mountain.
The mountain's name translates to 'the maidens' in Scottish Gaelic, referencing local tales of a deer hunter meeting two supernatural women.
The ascent begins from Kinlochleven at sea level, following a track to Mamore Lodge before taking the stalkers' path to the summit.
On June 8, 2019, the mountain witnessed a tragic incident when lightning struck a group of seven walkers near its peak.
