Live on the West coast Loch Lomond and they should be all gone by then

Don’t think about it just do it. If midges(unlikely) are present get yourselves indoors. I swear they don’t like ride wine.

well ive never been bitten 1 and I drink a lot of red wine so it must true although it might be because i live in little Scotland which is about 300 mile south of proper jockland

Not bad but I think Invercoe at Glencoe is more scenic.

When did Glencoe slip to South West Scotland .
Snow shoes, sandals, wet weather gear and budgie smugglers and you'll be fine .
Suntan cream and Smidge are advised .

South West Scotland is nice and I have only met midges inland on the hills that far south.

It's still in the same place. Check with Google Earth.

Only a Sassenach would need Google Earth for our Highlands.
Thank you.

Some of us Sassenachs do seem to know that South West Scotland is not in the Highlands.

 

[G-RMPS]

Sassenachs are Southern (non-Gaelic-speaking) Scots so they should all know where SW Scotland is as they live there

Portpatrick , a couple of sites above the town , easy walk down into town , well worth a visit lovely little costal town , Garlieston Caravan and Motorhome Club site right in the village good walks along the coast from the site and hotel with great food opposite the site , New England Bay another Caravan and Motorhome Club site , fantastic beaches and views, Galloway Way paths from site and Mull of Galloway point lighthouse worth a visit ( but not in a large motorhome)

Excellent, now please send me my Scottish bus pass.

However, most "Southern Scots" think, incorrectly, it's a reference to English folk!

Maybe we should use the more appropriate term of "hingers oan" instead for them?

 

[Boaty]

Sassenach origin refers to a "Saxon". Not a lot of Scots in that except as a Lowlander.

 

[ambulancekidd]

If you are very unlucky, you might encounter midges, but by & large, October is outwith their season & the first frosts usually end their reign.

I assume you have not been to the West Highlands

Too windy here at the moment.
Anything above 5mph and midges can't launch sorties, and are confined to barracks.
Besides, come October they should all be dead.

As wrong as placing Glencoe in the OP's South West Scotland request.

Unlike you

Thanks everyone especially the site suggestions.

Now to look them up!

[Minxy]

Are you sure you mean midges? Just pinched this off the 'FUN-knees' thread (now in the Belly Locker) as it seems quite apt!

 

[Minxy]

We're off tomorrow to SW Scotland, first night at Dumfries at Crichton campus (University & public park) we stop near the memorial church, stayed a few times, a lovely place.
