We might do a Scotland trip (NC500) in Mid May. Would that be midge season or is it all around up there?

Midge season in Scotland is from mid-May to September, though the exact timing depends on the weather. Midges are most active at dawn and dusk, and in still, humid conditions. When to visit The best time to avoid midges is during the low season, between November and April. A warm, dry summer...

...sliding door, my installer uses these: Question: - Does anyone have these installed? Or maybe a different brand? - Do you know if these are Midge proof or do you have a different type which is? - Other advice? For example: Reimo Site And this is how they get installed: Thanks! Much...

I've got a couple of cans of smidge on the van permanently. You can also check the smidge forecast The Scottish Midge Forecast

We were in the Highlands. Lots of streams. When we hit a town/village, we'd hit the bookshop/library and look up about MIDGES hoping there was something that we'd missed. Turns out there are many species of the little bugger and they hang out in different places etc. For those few weeks, we...

Its amazing most of GB get a weather broadcast rain wind what ever. The highlands get midge forecasts and the midge swarms have to be seen to be believed. I live in the country and have most insects but nothing like the Scottish Highlands. Fine on a windy blustery day but hell on calm balmy...

Nothing is midge proof.

Also, don't underestimate the midges. I believe this is a documentary about them. :rofl: :rofl:

General consensus is that, short of a Level A HazMat suit, nothing is midge-proof!!

As said by Badjamin, nothing is midge proof but the mesh is quite fine - see pic.

Do you know if the mesh on these is midge-prood?

The east doesn't really get bad midges at all - I've stayed in Perthshire in July and not seen one The west coast will be a different matter though!!

Not a one, they know the firepower we are packing!

Only no sessum fabric is midgeproof, as used in the old quasar tents. On my previous van I just edged it and fixed with magnets but not overly practical if kids etc. MM34 - Midge Net / Mosquito Net / Noseeum Mesh

In the words of Midge Ure: "This means nothing to me" ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I’m guessing it’s not neighbours

I'd be worried if there was midges with that much snow, if the bastids evolve to survive sub zero temps then it's game over man, game over! I need to get up to Scotland in winter at some point, the snow on the hills just looks so much nicer than the grey wet SE.

I've been working up in Fort William in the Highlands, 2.5 hrs north of Glasgow and the drive up there is amazing. I've been in hotels but there are loads of things to do and the mountain roads are brilliant to drive on. No midges yet which is a bonus.
