Cioch na h-Oighe (661m) viewed from Glen Sannox. Around the edge of Arran nearer sea-level the scenery is quite verdant and lush in the summer, but the summer months have added hazards. For example, this photo was taken in July, so it is quite likely there are millions of midges in the trees and undergrowth. They are everywhere if there is little wind and the weather is damp, even on the mountain tops. Sure, you can use DEET on yourself which stops ’em biting, but they still land on you briefly and they tickle. They don’t like strong sunlight, thankfully. They don’t like cold weather 12C or below. Midge season is usually mid-may to early october. (Author: Mike Wood)
