Morning folks I know this topic has been covered soooo many times before and to be honest, reading the previous threads I have an vivid image of a wall of midges on the borders keeping us all out Not sure if this is done to keep Scotland quiet and put us soft southerns off, if so, it's working
We have a couple of weeks off the first two weeks in June and we are considering our options for where to go. My wife has just had an op and she has requested we stay and tour our wonderful Isles in case we need to go back to the hospital for whatever reason, so France is off the list for this year. We love beaches and dramatic scenery and having visited the western side of Scotland, including Lewis and Harris, albeit in September, we had thought to continue and explore the north western side of Scotland.
However, I'm hesitant due to the stories of the midges, not being able to go out and enjoy the wonderful beaches and lochs and as for the evening, don't even think of stepping outside, or even leave windows and doors open; it doesn't sound like much fun
Any advice from those that have ventured up in early June will be much appreciated
