GLA Fuel Pickup

GLA Fuel Pickup


Postby Joanan » Sat May 21, 2022 2:57 pm

Hi all,

I will be travelling to Scotland in a few weeks. Upon arrival I will need to get some fuel supplies, since these are not allowed in flight. I will be travelling to the Crianlarich area and if possible, I would prefer to travel from the airport to there as soon as possible. Does anyone now stores in the vicinity that sell gas canisters (for Jetboil, but doesn't have to be Jetfuel)? Or has someone experience with parcel pick-up at a pick up point somewhere on route? I'm from the Netherlands so I'm not very familiar with the systems in place in Scotland.

Thanks in advance!

There is a shop at Crianlarich which may sell gas cannisters, if not there then the petrol station at the Green Welly Stop at Tyndrum, just a few miles along the road towards the west definitely has them. There is also a Yoof Hostel in Crianlarich if you don't want to camp in rain and midgies. Welcome to Scotland. :D

If you're travelling from Glasgow Airport in to the city centre to get the train to Crianlarich, then there's a Blacks store on Argyle Street (closer to both Central Station and Queen Street station) that sells Jetboil and Coleman Gas. Their sister brand Millets has a store on Sauchiehall Street.

If you are travelling via Queen Street station the place to get gas is Adventure 1. In Dundas St 30 seconds walk from the station.
