Of these, I only know the Jessops group; as you say it's a "chain"
store. However they are among the cheapest for film and they will
almost certainly have what you want.  They also stock a range of
accessories; many are their "own brand". I don't know the other shops,
but Fort William is not very big so if you are able, I would stock up
in Edinburgh or Inverness.

I'm sorry to tell you that the weather over here is not very good at
the  moment, in fact it's about the worst summer we've known :-(
In the south of Scotland (Lockerbie) the railroad was washed away in a
flood only yesterday.  However Scottish angry skies, and tumbling
rivers, are a sight to behold!

I hope you have a good holiday.
