Re: Scotland
Think a bit of perspective is needed on the midgees.
If you are riding up the NW of Scotland and staying in a b&b/hotel then midgees are no issue whatsoever in my experience, if however you are camping and near woods/bracken etc then yes, they can be a nightmare, so don't let all this talk of midgees put you off coming in the Summer months.
