    Camping in Scotland in the summer - bad idea?

    I'm desperate to get some camping booked in for the summer time so I know I have something to look forward to. Wild and/or wildish campsites would be the preference. I'd love to explore Scotland; I haven't camped there since doing the West Highland Way with Scouts. But is the midge situation...

    Hi folks, happy to be here :)

    Been a lover of the outdoors since I was in cubs, and fascinated by bushcraft and survival since I was given John Wiseman's book when I was 13 (which was a little while ago). Been getting back into (wild) camping over the last couple of years - Dartmoor, Wye Valley, South Wales etc. and I'm...
