Na Gruagaichean (Scottish Gaelic for 'the maidens') is one of the Mamores mountains in the Scottish Highlands, between Glen Nevis to the north and the village of Kinlochleven to the south. It has twin peaks, the highest of which rises to 1,056 m (3,465 ft), and it is classed as a Munro. The mountain is one of the most accessible from the village, due in part to its nearness and a well-defined path leading most of the way to the summit.
