Many times. Avon Skin So Soft is what many of the locals swear by - it does work to keep the midges at bay. But if they are really bad you’ll need a hat with a midge net and ideally some thin gloves. Cover any exposed skin. They are worst when it is still and wet, they can’t fly if it’s windy or sunny and dry. Interesting that the last few times I’ve been to Scotland, there have been far fewer midges than in previous years. Even locals remarked on it.
