I am struggling to recall whether we could buy GoGas or similar gas canisters last time we passed through Fort Augustus. I've a nasty feeling we could only get the CampingGas type, but we've a different stove this year and it will only fit GoGas/Primus or similar canisters. Does anyone know what our chances are of buying them in Fort Augustus?

Been through Fort Augustus twice, but can't recall seeing an outdoor shop! Best bet would possibly be the petrol station/shop or post office. I suspect neither sells gas canisters and so you will either have to carry two or wait/economise gas use until Newtonmore/Aviemore?

Get the in Glasgow there are a few outdoor outlets near the station

I think it's a bet they will stock as there is campsite in the village

Marion, I bought a 220g GoSystem canister last year in a shop up the hill on A82 somewhere around NH 374086. Think it was a cycle accessory shop.

Thanks guys for your help. Following your leads, I rang the petrol station/trading post shop, and they no longer sell gas canisters, but the cycle/hardware shop Girvans Hardware do. They also have a range of energy bars, which could be handy for the struggle across the pathless boglands of the Monadliath! So problem solved!
