Know this place

Arisaig's white sands and island views draw campers, but the surrounding machair and damp grassland hold humidity well into the evening. The campsite and the road end near the beach are the places to watch.

Coastal breezes can clear things out during the day, but when the wind drops at dusk the cloud appears fast.

What to bring

Midge kit for these conditions

Midge activity is possible. A repellent in your bag is sensible precaution.

Avon Skin So Soft Original Dry Oil Spray

The long-running Scottish alternative. Some people swear by it; it is not a dedicated repellent.

As bad as it gets, dusk to dawn. No easing before first light. This is the one the pools remember.

Calibrated for dusk-to-dawn exposure. Short evening trips: see the dog walker guide.
