In my experience, the only time to guarantee avoiding the dreaded midge is between October and May inclusive. Mind you, with the warm winter we've had, that may no longer apply.
I've heard that the old Highland clans had a way of dealing with criminals - they tied them to a stake, in a bog, and naked, leaving them to the mercy of the midge. Most were driven mad. Imagine that, eh?
