For all those Southern softies put off by threats of the deadly midge,
research indicates that, not only is it now safe to visit Scotland, but
that next year is likely to see a lot fewer of the wee buggers.
Now then, about these clegs, deer keds, tics. . . . . .

"However, VisitScotland does not agree that the insects affect
tourists' decisions on whether to visit the Highlands and how long
they stay."
Who are VisitScotland, and have they ever actually visited Scotland?
How do they work out why people who aren't in Scotland are not there?
Anyway, it's bollox, most people I know avoid Scotland in midge season
and go to the Lakes or Wales instead.

Where there are midges a plenty.
I cannot help but yell abuse at that "pesterScotland" advert with the
young rich and goodlooking ones having a right romantic time in the
Summer Highlands....
As if!
There is a trades description act?

I walk, climb and MTB all summer in Scotland. And I like it.
Fine, just stay away from our country and it will be quieter.

Eh ?
Oh well, off to the biggest man made MTB courses
in scotland. There are RUBBISH though and the
baking is really poor in the cafe. And last night was
at the BIGGEST indoor climbing wall in europe
and it's RUBBISH.

Yeah, I didn't see they were right to avoid the place, just that
(contrary to what those VisitScotland people claim) they do.
I certainly won't camp there in the summer though, too many unpleasant
experiences.
