Travel tips for the American going back to "The Homeland"

[Lachlan09]

The infamous cleg or clegg – it’s apparently a type of horsefly ! Horrible critters ! I guess they were a little short of 1 inch long and were a grayish-brown colour with similar large eyes. They made a low whirring sound which sounded positively evil and no matter how much you shooed them, they wouldn’t give up or scoot off and come back later. They would dodge your best shot and relentlessly move in again for the blood-sucking bite every time !!

I only ever came across them in the Highlands, particularly the West Coast.
