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?

From the rasping spout of a minke whale as it breaks the surface, to the krek-krek-krek of a corncrake, Scotlands southern Highlands and Islands are filled with unusual wildlife experiences. You can spot otters tumbling in the kelp, watch sea eagles snatch fish from a lonely loch, and thrill to the sight of dolphins riding the bow wave of your boat. Here sea travel is as important as road and rail dozens of ferries allow you to island-hop your way from the Firth of Clyde to Oban and beyond, via the whisky distilleries of Islay, the wild mountains of Jura and the scenic delights of diminutive Colonsay. The bustling town of Oban is the gateway to the isles from the peaceful backwaters of Kerrera and Lismore to the dramatic coastal scenery of Mull and the wild, windswept beaches of Coll and Tiree.
