I walked the West Highland Way in June of 2001 and the midgie's were terrible. I still had a blast and would do it again in a heart beat. But they were absolutely terrible the minute you stopped walking. If you kept moving you were fine, but once you stopped they were all over you. I saw a couple of locals wearing the kilt while walking the trail and they looked like they were having a good time. Sorry to take this off topic. Just saw Jock Scot's post and started to reminisce.
