I just called JJ Hardware in Kyle and they have a stock of the gas bottles in all sizes and makes. So it should not be a problem.

I will call them a few days before just to confirm.

Kent and William - I'm in the same boat as you. Coming from overseas and praying for the screw top gas cannisters on arrival! This is such a helpful thread - a big THANK YOU for your advanced research.

We are arriving into Inverness a few days early so hopefully will be able to pick up some there. JJ Hardware in Kyle will be our back up plan though!


PS: William, maybe I'll run into you Tuesday in Dornie?!? My sister and I start from there on the 10th too.

After thinking about it, I've decided to pre-order our canisters at GO Outdoors (Inverness), Cairngorms Mountain Sports (Aviemore) and Braemar Mountain Sports (Braemar) so they are waiting for us when we arrive. Come to think of it we did the same thing in 2018, just to be safe. There are lots of moving pieces to a TGOC plan, especially when coming from overseas. Makes me feel better to eliminate risk when it's easy to do so.
