Insects

I have heard that midges can be a particular nuisance for visitors to Scotland. As my wife is susceptible to insect bites when would be a good time this autumn to escape these pests?

Midges are a problem in West of Scotland but not so in the east.You can buy an Avon product..Skin so soft.Woodland Fresh.The caravan brigade swear by it.There are sprays and body lotions.

Hi Martin

I think if you and your wife are planning to visit Scotland in Autumn, you won't have a problem. The worst time for midgies is late spring and summer. I hope you have a great trip - minus bites!
