Beinn nan Aighenan rises to a height of 960m (3150 feet) to the southeast of the head of Loch Etive in Argyll & Bute. Its name is derived from the Gaelic for "hill of the hinds". It has a high level ridge running east from the summit and is connected to the Glen Etive range by a col that links with Starav and Glas Mheinn Mor.
