Having recently spoken to a couple about taking 2 to 3 weeks in west Scotland at end July and beginning of August, we have changed our minds. Apparently there are swarms of midges at that time of year and both of us prime candidates for being bitten. He suggested that the Northumberland coast is beautiful but we have never ventured over that way. Can anyone tell us what it's like please? Are there places we can just park up or is it all campsites? Any information will be gratefully received. Many thanks.
