Oh man, it definitely sounds more horrific than it actually is. Personal favourite time for touring in Scotland is April or October, less insects and less tourists so a bit cheaper/quieter ;)
Also, if you're on the East Coast the midges aren't a thing. Don't let it put you off anyway-it's not much different to dealing with mozzies in some respects... it's just that you can have freak, cataclysmic days where if you're unprepared it's a nightmare. I'm thinking of when I worked on a film set on Skye and we all had gloves/hoods etc on and one guy got off a van from Glasgow wearing shorts with no spare clothes... Savaged by thousands of tiny beasts.

I've actually cancelled our trip. Don't think this level of annoyance will give us the right impression of Scotland. We'll come in September or October instead... once the insects are gone?
