    I don't find the midges that bad at all, perhaps coming from South west Scotland, where it always warm and wet (therefore perfect midgie environment) I have thicker skin or maybe I have an inbuilt repellant.

    My wife on the other hand was plagued by them, worst thing about them is unlike mosquitos they like to attack in force and because they are so small it is hard to kill them.

    If they decide they like the way you taste then it could be a miserable time for you, so pack repellant.

    Just remembered, best way to avoid them is to stay away from still water and boggy ground ( Glenfinnan monument is terrible place for them) if there's a breeze you should be okay as they get blown away very easily.

    @Nomad: I've heard about the midges. Are they really that bad?
