Midges are small biting insects found in the Scottish Highlands and the west coast of Scotland. They are only 1-3 mm in size but they gather in large swarms near water and damp ground in the early morning and evening.

Midge bites are initially quite painful and they quickly develop into itchy red skin blotches that can easily break and become infected if scratched hard. The most effective protection against midges is to use a body lotion that blocks their antennae receptors.
