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.

Why Go?

Many visitors pass by this corner of the country in their headlong rush to the tourist honeypots of Loch Ness and Skye. But theyre missing out on a part of Scotland thats as beautiful and diverse as the more obvious attractions of the western Highlands and islands.

Within its bounds youll find two of Scotlands four largest cities Dundee, the city of jute, jam and journalism, the cradle of some of Britains favourite comic characters, and home to Captain Scotts Antarctic research ship, the Discovery; and Aberdeen, the granite city, an economic powerhouse fuelled by the riches of North Sea oil.

Angus is a region of rich farmland and scenic glens dotted with the mysterious stones left behind by the ancient Picts, while Aberdeenshire and Moray are home to the greatest concentration of Scottish Baronial castles in the country, and dozens of distilleries along the River Spey.
