Symbol Owner Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 So, Dave, whereabouts in Scotland ( it's a big country you know!) are you/have you been/are you going to? Liz and I did a wonderful tour of the Northern Scottish coast in 2010 -- later in the year than this -- not too worried by midges -- but -- we had learned by then about the marine commando 'skinsosoft' trick.............. We're hoping to go to lowland Scotland (New Galloway area) later this year. Have a good trip, Colin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pelmetman Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 We're at the CC Ledaig site north of Oban.............pitch overlooking the beach..........and the Isle of Mull.........not that we can see much through the murk *-)................It was dry yesterday so got the bus into Oban, nice town and seafood ;-)..................not been much further as we're here with tugger friends. Next time we'll tour around, but we'll come when the gulf stream is sending the rain to England :D...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brock Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 We're off to Scotland next week for three weeks. New England Bay, Forfar, Stonehaven, and Brora. Good to know the midges are being fed before we get there although they tend not to be too bad in the east. We prefer the east coast and the Moray Firth in particular. It's quieter. But if we had to choose our favourite site in Scotland, it would be the CC site at Kinlochewe just ahead of a commercial site in Callander. Inverness is a great base because we could always find a decent bit of sunshine within 100 miles or so! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the midges may have the same opinion....... ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brock Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 You are right about the midges at Kinlochewe Once, we made a mistake of going in the height of the midge season. Every time we left the van we had to wear a towel over our heads and full body covering. Our dog wasn't happy! Fortunately for me, midges and such like tend to go for the missus first. She always looks pale in Scotland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brock Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Linked worked OK for me. Very encouraging because, as planned, we will be motorhoming at level 1 on the midge scale so I'll let my missus entertain the negligible midges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
