Stay away you tourists.

Yup in full-on midge attack mode there.
Absolutely no chance I'd be stepping out in that

Bugger that go back in the winter

Unless and until, you have fully experienced the Highland Midge, in all its glory, it is difficult to convey just how dreadful they can be.

That short film clip, does very good job.

I don’t care how good the whiskey is, I’m not going there.

Just anpther day in Paradise.

That brings back memories of camping in the Cairngorms at corur bothy. It was a no go zone between 18.00-20.00. I once had to pee in a bottle rather than go outside

And it gets worse once you start the Gralloch.

Why doesn't Nippy just ban them?

Scotland's national bird the Midge stopped the Roman Army from going any further north than Callander. Eaten alive they were.

Yep. I got absolutely hammered by them on Saturday evening. Rookie mistake, too. I forgot to roll my sleeves down

 

[lochty]

They prefer tourists in campervans.....lol

Glentrool or somewhere near the source of the Tweed, midge heaven. I remember herself trying to shoot a buck 50 yards away but couldn't because eyes full of midges. Dogs in kennels, shut in and sprayed, still whining all night. Fortunately don't bother me too much.

 

[Scandially]

Fintry Hill, couldn't see a Buck 60 yards away through my scope.

Ideal. Can you send a few billion down south please.

Can they be trained to attack mountain bikers and dog walkers?

 

[Scandially]

No training required...

 

[Finch]

Rented a holiday cottage in Glen Moriston a couple of years ago as a base for exploring the highlands on my motorbike. Damp mossy birch wood about ten yards from the back door.
Came back from a ride one day about 4:30. Decided to give the bike a wash when it had cooled down. Did that, all was good and then about 6:00 went to have a bath. Made the mistake of leaving the patio doors wide open.....
I only did that once.

 

[old keeper]

I never realised it was that bad!

 

[Tazz]

Have they all been jabbed
