I had an investigation for something I cannot remember but it was about 40 years ago. Nurse came running in with a litre jug of water.

Fort William is not my favourite place. Tourist tat town and drive through as fast as possible. [ Which generally is not very fast as the traffic jams can be massive.]
Actually Tobermory would be nearer and a scenic crossing usually driven by a keen cyclocross cyclist.
Tackle and Books would probably have such batteries in stock.

Re Ribble.
A pain to find as the WHOLE area is new as in housing estates and trading estates which the satnav didn't recognise.
Don't think you would like the place. Its like a space age supermarket with lots of bike on very fancy stands.....but they are all secured so you can't hold them.
All they do is sell bikes.
You have to queue and wait for someone to be free.... 50 minutes for me.
I much prefer a traditional bike shop.

Phoned around......FW was the nearest I found .
You know what OWs..... I am loathe to jump to conclusions but I am getting the impression that you are not terribly keen on tourists.
Feel free to correct me

What about the actual bikes?
I am currently "researching" E-Bikes. The Ribble looks interesting in that it is relatively light for an E-Bike (typically E-Bikes weigh in at about 23kg, so, two of them (ie typical e-Bikes) in the garage of our motorhome will be 56kg of our payload gone). But, they are hub drive, and, the general consensus of what I have read so far is that crank drive (or, mid drive, is, I think the correct term), is preferable.

Some years ago we sassenachs thought deep fried Mars bar was a myth until we actually saw it in a chippy. eughhh
It’s a myth that they’re a standard part of the Scots diet. You will find them for sale but usually only in tourist areas for gullible travellers to try.

We have only got a communal garden and I'm not too sure if the rest of the tenant would appreciate seeing me in the nude
