the midgies can be a pain but for some reason they dont bite everyone, Ive never been bitten by a Midge yet some people are eaten alive, plan well and you have a great time , if your not careful in the Highlands you can drive aimlessly and see nothing but sheep. Dont bother with Glasgow, go to Edinburgh,head north to Stirling further North to Aberdeen then up to the 'Ness the drive south on the west coast stop off a Stranraer or Ayr and visit Rabbies cottage.
