Know this glen

Glencoe's steep walls shelter the glen floor from wind that would otherwise keep midges grounded. The riverside flats and forestry edges near the campsites are the busiest spots on still evenings.

Higher on the ridges you're usually fine — the trouble is the car park when you get back down.

“The glen reports excellent feeding conditions at dusk. Morale among the squadrons is regrettably high.”
