  No matter whether you are a lifelong native or a newcomer to Scotland, nothing saves you from the savage bloodthirst of the Highland midge. Although very small, it has an unusual life cycle that produces two generations every season. Roberts has compiled an anthology of anecdotes and information concerning the creature coveting such topics as Bonnie Prince Charlie, Queen Victoria, kilts, and camping. Also included is a section on remedies and repellents.
