        1. Without a doubt, travelling up to the NW of Scotland for 10 days on Wednesday, Fingers are crossed for a change in the weather. Maybe just midges?? Posted 4 years ago

            1. Sorry yes - Culicoides impunctatus - the scottish biting midge which lives in the bog, I think has 6 teeth and appears on calm sunny or soft (scottish rain) days but if you leave the window open - they'll have you too. However, they don't kill and definitely worse things in South America. Thanks cheers, Posted 4 years ago
