For Scots looking to head out into the countryside this summer for a walk or a camping trip, an interactive 'midge map' shows where the bloodsucking insects are most common.
A 'midge map' reveals the areas in Scotland where you are most likely to be swarmed by the flying insects at any given time.
While midges are common in Scotland between May and September, July and August are widely considered to be the months when they are at their worst. To help locals and tourists alike avoid nasty bites, midge repellent company Smidge has put together The Scottish Midge Forecast. Looking at the map, the area around Glencoe looks to be worst for midges over the next five days, with a rating of four. The small village is located on the southern bank of the River Coe, with the wet conditions being perfect for the tiny bloodsuckers.
