			 Midges are tiny swarming insects that occur across large portions of the globe. However,
			 the particular sub-species of the midge that is found in Scotland is known as the Highland Midge,
			 or "Culicoides Impunctatus": and it has a reputation for being more ferocious than most.

			 To find out the full story of the midge, you need to get hold of a copy of George
			 Hendry's remarkable bestseller, "Midges in Scotland", which you can purchase via the bookshop
			 section at the foot of this page. It is also possible to consult an online
			 <A href="http://www.midgeforecast.co.uk/home/forecast.asp">midge forecast</A> divided by area for
			 up to a week ahead.

			 Midges occur more in the north and west of Scotland than in the south or the east. They
			 especially like wet and uncultivated land, something that parts of Scotland have in
			 super-abundance.
