Why am I not Surprised that Glencoe and Fort William have the highest level of these annoying blighters...

Because you never lived in the Trossachs.

[Gatt]

Had many a camping holiday in the Trossachs!!.. And yeah the Midges are pretty nasty there too!

[pcstru]

Ah - nostalgia. I almost feel guilty about not missing living in Scotland.

[Gatt]

Yeah I get that too - then I think... its at least 30C here in Manchester and in FW its been a tad wet...

[CAM]

I'm going to Inverness in August and forgot these little blighters existed!

 

I still remember visiting Fort William as a kid and running through a swarm of bugs that started biting. Ouch!

You're lucky you came out the other side. Some people run into a cloud of midges and that's the last anyone sees of them...

[CAM]

Sky Pirhanas?

Sky Pirhanas?

 

Counterparts to the Vashta Nerada? Stick to the sunlight instead of the shadow.

 

[Gatt]

best way to keep them at bay if camping, is white smoke (eg ferns!)

Or a pipe

What an excellent idea - now all we need to do is the same but for chavs in the UK....

Not using enough petrol

[Gatt]

There are some even worse midges throughout Scotland

They have been crossed with leeches, and are known as "The SNP"

[localzuk]

They need this on the Isle of Man too. Go down any glen during the summer and its hell.
