Scottish Weather and Kilting

[cessna152towser]

The midges will be at their worst for biting exposed flesh in Taynuilt in late July, especially so if there is pleasantly warm, but humid weather, which is usually the case in the west highlands at that time of year. Best apply insect repellant to exposed flesh. It should not be too chilly to wear shorts in the evenings, though if you are dining out in a nice restaurant or hotel, your kilt or long trousers would be more appropriate in the evening. I am hoping to have my annual week in the highlands, based at Spean Bridge, from 26th July to 2nd August and to attend the Arisaig Highland Games on 30th July.

Cessna, thanks for the speedy reply and good advice. I will remember such, as it will be easier to pack several shorts to wear daily and a pair or two of trousers for the occasional evening pub events. I'll get repellent for my time in Taynuilt. Thanks, again.
