Should have read all the thread before posting! Yes at the same time I was walking in Berneray/North Uist/South Uist/Barra etc. and I had really bad midge attacks, especially the first night on Skye camping and trying too cook (fail!) and then the weather was so bad I just youth-hosteled the rest of the time, and was put off by the midges which were bad in South Uist particularly. I tended to stick to the coast as a result!

I wish I'd had some Skin So Soft - it was found by accident to be a repellent, and now the forces use it (oh they smell so nice and such lovely skin! LOL)
