Maybe check out the Smidge website,they give a very accurate midge forecast which updated daily

 

[Northernraider]

Midges everywhere theres heather and water

 

[carthorse]

Thanks for that Wabs, forecast says low occurrence of the little blighters hopefully might
get away without being drained of my lives blood.

Read the guide at the bottom of my page, trouble is that your bang in the middle of the midge season.

You are actually going to Lochness not lockness.

 

[David and Sally]

I’ve been to Loch Ness. Don’t remember any midges. That was in June and fully geared up in motorcycle kit. Windscreen can’t say the same though

I think it's contrary to Rule #1 to correct other posters' spelling and/or grammar.
If the OP's meaning is clear then...

I have to say as a scot i was tempted to correct that one myself but at least it wasnt lakeness.

I always find english accents trying to pronounce loch very amusing ....never mind ecclefechan or milngavie

The English don’t have a problem with the pronunciation it’s just you Scots that don’t speak proper like

 

[NicandJay]

Milngavie that's pronounced Mulgaii you mean...I was working there for a short while in previous life

Was asked by a lorry driver once how to get to a place in Mouch line ...
Took me a few seconds to realise he meant Mauchline.

 

[carthorse]

Yes think we'll try Lochness not lockness might have a better chance of finding the campsite

Possibly 'low' for Scotland in summer - I'd go prepared.

My mate lives on the Loch in Milngavie.

Not sure about this time of year, when we were up there in August years ago it was ok near the lock further away it was midge fog, practically had to bath in the anti midge stuff.
Love Scotland but that really spoilt it for us at times.
