Actually the one thing that Midges hate, loathe and detest is a breeze.

If you are on a EHU, then bring a fan and stand it up-wind of where you are sitting in the evening. The breeze from it will keep the area Midge Free.

Good shout LobeyDosser!  Simple idea but extremely effective.

mozzy coils, burn for 8 hours, these worked best for us last year in the highlands.  Just light 1 as soon as you get up, hung just outside my tent, also used it in the kitchen tent fisrt thing in the morning.  I tried loads of different things as i have a allergy to insect bites, so needed to be prepared.  If I went to the highlands again, i wouldn't be without them.

I usually set up an anti midgie perimeter forcefield. i surround the area I am sitting in with citronella lights and they don't cross the barrier. Trust me it works.

 did the marmite thing this trip though, ate it every day for a fortnight and every day while we were away, not sure if its a bite free year or whether the marmite worked.

Rather get eaten alive!!!

I stayed at a site at Edinbane. It is a small privately owned site on the shores of a sealoch. Basic but clean and tidy and it was within walking distance of the local shop and pub.
