Midges and Ticks in Scotland

I have always been up front about midges and ticks in Scotland and in particular about midges and ticks around the Loch Ness area of Scotland, as this is where they most likely to affect us personally and our visitors.   I have a full page about the little blighters here - Midges and Ticks in Scotland Most people now know there is an Avon product that is now widely used as an effective repellent and is normally only available via mail order through Avon website. But hey, yesterday whilst window shopping in Inverness i saw Avon “Skin so Soft” for sale in a shop. If you forgot to buy midge repellent before leaving home for the Highland capital or if what you have is not working, you can now get this great, word of mouth product in town!  the shop called “The Body & Face Place” is selling it and you will find the shop almost opposite the Railway station entrance in Inverness.

By the way this stuff smells really nice so around the Highlands even the biggest butch type guys and their dogs smell sweet you know why!!
