I'm in Aberdeenshire (Torphins/Banchory area) and out with the dog most days, nothing to comment really, have found a couple of ticks on the dog, not a huge flurry of midgies or anything and have been out camping a couple of times. Got a few mozzy bites wild swimming a few weeks back. Supposedly horse flies have been enjoying the warmer weather!
Bernhard-
Thanks! Doesn't sound so bad, then!

That's what I've been hearing, so though I'd check in. I've been on a few tours in Scotland but never had a really hard time of it. Was camping in Finland a few weeks ago and it was mosquito hell (although I've seen it worse in Canada).
Any word on the current state of the insect infestation? Will be doing a few days hiking the week after next.
