I went in July last year and the midges were not too bad but bye god the horse flies ate me alive I had blood running down my leg off one bit never ever seen anything like it at times it was impossible to get out of the mh

April can actually be quite nice up here, we normally have a wee dry spell March April time but not guaranteed.

If your coming to Scotland no matter when you came you have to be prepared for all seasons, we are planning on doing the NC500 this March/April.

It can rain at any time, I live in Scotland and I know. No midges in April though.

Absolutely, been so many times the first week of May (SSDT) and in the main good bright days of sunshine and no midges.

I agree
forget the Midges, the Clegs are ferocious. We got attacked by a swarm of them, they draw blood and cause large swelling. take plenty of anti histamine.

We've been to Mull every April for about 10 years. The weather has generally been pretty good.

Last two years & april its been superb weather wise here in Scotland.
Certainly no midges nor horse flies, so its a win win situation, if you get the weather right but, this is the northern sector of the British Isles & if your not prepared for wet weather you might not enjoy your holidays.

 

[Scotch mist]

You can always work round weather BUT I find it almost impossible the manage the midge & clegs when they are out in force

 

[angusboy]

I do that when i go to glastnbury festival thanks

Don't ignore the north east coast which is usually drier and midge free. Coast line is fantastic and much quieter than the west.
Like any part of the UK in April be prepared for all types of weather.

April is generally OK, but this is Scotland after all , be prepared for anything,

Over the last few years May's weather has been very good, lots of sun and before the Midges arrive !!!!,
