Does anyone know if you can get meths.easily on Lofoten Is. Hoping to take a trangia stove.

Trangia is fine. It's what all the locals use.

The local meths equivalent is called Rødspirit. It's basically the same, but I got a feeling it burned slightly hotter.

A lot of garages seem really well stocked up an all sorts of camping gear. In truth the West coast of Scotland feels more remote.
