If anyone has any good tips on beating the midges, please share them!

I got absolutely devoured this weekend up by Loch Latrine (edit: Katrine) (completely forgot it was midge season, so I was unprepared).

    Use Smidge. It’s the best repellant.

    Also, get some citronella. You can get it as oil (for burning), as tealights, as rope (also for burning), as incense… It does the trick in Northumberland, though I’m not so sure about Loch Latrine. Those midges might be a bit tougher.

      I got some smidge for Day 2; sadly I already looked like I had chicken pox at that point so it’s difficult to tell if it helped much!
