Leac na Carnaich

Located east of Fort William near the entrance to Glen Spean, this rugged summit offers a character typical of the Grampians' lower fringes. While often overshadowed by the neighbouring Grey Corries, its broad, slabby slopes provide a quiet alternative with expansive, clear-day views back toward the Ben Nevis massif.

• •The name is derived from the Scottish Gaelic Leac na Càrnaich, meaning 'Slab of the Stony Place', a description that fits the fractured rock and tilted plates found near the summit area.
• •Its position provides a grandstand view of the Great Glen and the southern end of Loch Lochy, as well as the steep northern faces of the Stob Coire Gaibhre and the Easains.
• •At 569 metres, it is classified as a Hump—a hill with a prominence of at least 100 metres—ensuring it stands out as a distinct peak rather than a mere shoulder of its higher neighbours.
• •The hill is a short distance from the Commando Memorial at Spean Bridge, offering a far more peaceful perspective on the rugged training grounds used by elite troops during the Second World War.
