Funny that midges in Scotland should come up as this was discussed on a Radio 4 programme the other day. Apparently they don't bite but wee on you. They are very bad around places like Lock Loman. I think it said there are web sites (like weather, pollen sites etc.) showing how bad they are. When they are bad , don't camp!!!


For the love of god, please don't comment on anything scottish when you spell Loch, with a "ck" and Lomond with an "an".

Midges are easily repeled using 'Bug Off' spray, available in most camp stores in the UK or online. Your tent will however need a mosquito net door, but most already come with that.

Don't let a bunch of little flies put anyone off seeing the beauty of Scotland and what better way to see it than from the air.
