Hey Scottish People, When are the midges bad?
« on: July 28, 2022, 05:16:04 PM »

I'm thinking of doing a road trip to Scotland at the end of August / Start of September.  Mrs CZ is saying that we can't go to the north of Scotland becuase the midges are horrible during that time. 

Any truth to that?

It's much worse on the west coast.

Are you going into the woods or are you going into the town?

  Into the woods, and driving around.

I've lived in Inverness for ....14 years? and if I've seen a midge I didn't notice it. Well, a real midge, there's an enormous one at the museum.  A friend of mine in Assynt does a lot of hillwalking and swears by Midge Off
