Resupply @ Drumnadrochit?

I've beem pointed to a useful shop at Cannich, but looking at the map it makes sense to bypass this opportunity and keep to the woods and fields en route to Drumnadrochit.

Can I resupply there? I see there's a post office, but can't see any carrots or bread or packet soup in the picture.

And how about on the other side of the Loch? If I race for the evening ferry to enjoy some well-thought of accomodation over there, will I find a shop?

There's a small grocer's shop as well.

The shop's small.

Not the grocer...

Although he wasn't specially tall either

In 2013 I camped at the camp site at Borlum and posted a parcel to them - they were happy to keep it for me. It did mean an early start to get to Temple Pier for 8, as Borlum is on the "wrong" side of Drum.

The post office is also a general store with a good selection of food and supplies. The Post Office will take parcels for you. The Pharmacy sells meths. You should be able to get everything you need there.

Re: Resupply @ Drumnadrochit?

Thank you all! It seems Drumnadrochit has everything I could possibly want. And thanks Andy for your note which came a few days after I read your blog entry on this! And to those who risked the wrath of the gods (!?) by mentioning the 'p' word.
