We live down south on the Caledonian Sleeper route and so thought it would be really fun to catch the sleeper up to Scotland for next year's summer holiday. Possible end destinations on the route are: Inverness, Aberdeen or Fort William.
I'd love to go to the west coast near Fort William (including Skye and Mull) but am really worried about the reputation for midges - I think they love me - last summer I got bitten to complete shreds by mosquitos in Italy (about 30 bites on my legs alone) and it was awful. Would you definitely avoid? I know some people do of course live there....
Aberdeen or Inverness - what would an August holiday be like in either of these places? Where is nice to stay / go to? Keen to get into the countryside (we'd hire a car). Are there fewer midges?!
All advice most welcome.
