Beinn nan Aighenan
Hiking
5.0

Good starting points are in Glen Etive and Glen Kinglass. From the former, you follow Allt nam Meirleach south to Bealachan Lochain Ghaineamhaich before ascending Beinn nan Aighenan proper. From the latter, you can park at Victoria Bridge on the shore of Loch Tulla but the approach is considerably longer.
When you reach the top, Ben Cruachan is beautifully seen. Loch Etive and Loch Tulla glitter below and peaks rise in every direction. It’s tempting to bag more summits while you’re here, not least Ben Starav if you’ve come from Glen Etive.
