Beautiful. Send it to the Scottish Tourism board.

Nature in the raw - hope they're gone next time I head that way!

Oh, the joys of Scotland! They must be able to smell blood in the tent!

A quite stunning picture. I'm especially impressed by your courage in the face of enemy fire. Don McCullin eat your heart out.

I thought my photo would fire up everyone’s memory banks!
Colin - the photo was taken whilst working out how to get into the tent without taking the entire cloud in with me. Limited success was had resulting in the two of us spending an hour killing midges which by the end lay as a carpet of bodies across everything

Here's a trick that I discovered in Greenland when dealing with Arctic Mosquitoes in my tent - that would probably work on midges as well. Take a stove into the tent with you and boil up a saucepan of water with the lid on. When it's boiling, suddenly whisk the lid off and manoeuvre the saucepan under the clouds of insects. The clouds of steam will make most of them fall into the boiling water. In less than a minute, you have all the insects dead in the water. Then open the tent and throw the water plus insects straight out through the door. Quick, clean, and no toxic insect spray in the tent.
