Thanks for all your help,

Really helpful,

Thinking may/June time

Going to try and plan a route,

How easy is it to get B&B on the islands?

Or the mainland as well?

🤣 Plenty of midge sprays available in most shops where it's a problem.

Coming to Scotland in Late August as part of a 3 week Vacation. Now ill be sure to Bring my Midge Repellent. This is the first i have heard of these Creatures. Living near Seattle Washington we don't have a lot of bugs.
I'm out on the hills every day with the guide dogs and my flatcoat,,wear decent repellent and midge net,DO NOT CAMP OUT,,lol,,,the flies are worse than australia,

Hello John,

here's a link to some photos from our Scotland tour last year.

https://photos.app.goo.gl/wEwzoqD49h1YrSQo7

Hope you get nice weather like we did.
Our only regret is that we didn't use our CB750F1 and took a BMW instead because we were certain it would piss down with rain.

Anyhow over 3 weeks and 3000 miles we seldom got rain, but I got forced into a Travel Lodge once to keep the peace!

Hope the photos inspire you and others to explore Scotland.


all the best

I toured a bit of Scotland a few years ago...the midges were horrendous until we camped on Skye when a stiff breeze kept the little blighters at bay - I haven't ever enjoyed a coastal breeze so much!
