Scottish Weather and Kilting

[Arlen]

Here's hoping the weather is as good as it was today.
I even got some clothes dried outside!

I found that Avon's Skin-So-Soft repelled midges quite effectively, or at least it did for me. I used a spray version whose scent was almost imperceptible.

I've never liked the feel of DEET on my skin, though might add I dislike even more the feeling of multiple midge bites.

Not practical for all, but travel to Scotland in September is more enjoyable. No midgies and only a fraction the number of tourists.

Slainte yall,

That kind of weather is what kilts were made for. Not trapsing around in 98 degree weather with 95% humidity. One of the best reasons for lightweight kilts I know. Living in Calif we get the heat less humidity.

The Avon Skin-So -Soft is what the Forestry Commission supply their men with and they swear by it.Our very own backwoodsman,Arlen suggests Tee Tree oil as being good too.Frankly whilst these and other assorted potions may help, I have found that if midges are bad there is NOTHING that will keep them at bay.Retreat indoors and give yourself a stiff gin,is best I find.

Sounds like a plan pard. Let's put it into action.
