Midges

If youve never been to the Scottish Highlands and Islands before, be prepared for an encounter with the dreaded midge. These tiny, 2mm-long blood-sucking flies appear in huge swarms in summer, and can completely ruin a holiday if youre not prepared to deal with them.

They proliferate from late May to mid-September, but especially mid-June to mid-August which unfortunately coincides with the main tourist season and are most common in the western and northern Highlands. Midges are at their worst during the twilight hours, and on still, overcast days; strong winds and bright sunshine tend to discourage them.

The only way to combat them is to cover up, particularly in the evening. Wear long-sleeved, light-coloured clothing (midges are attracted to dark colours) and, most importantly, use a reliable insect repellent.
