    Off to Scotland...

    Hi guys!

    I got a nice job in Elgin next week.Gonna shoot of some nice images on a distillery nearby...
    Wondering if I need permission to work the beaches at Lossiemouth and surroundings? Will they be any good.?

    Hopefully they dont offer me to much "usky"...want to be focused on my job and detecting

    Get a bottle of "Skin so Soft" from Avon cosmetics its the only thing the little buggers dont like. If not you will be palgued by the highland midge.

    They are at thier worse this year as the was a mild winter so they didnot get killed off. When up to my brothers in Inverness a few weeks ago and they were murder but the Avon cream kept most of them away.

    Dont forget there is a worse insect in the Highlands called a Cleg its a bit like a horsefly on steroids and give a very nasty bite.
    Slàinte,

    Mal,I think you`ll find a Cleg, IS indeed a Horsefly without the steroids. The name Cleg is Just another "regional " name for one, thats all.

    Midgets? They taste sweet.....get a mouth full and chew and you will see. Fishing in Lapland summertime is crazy.They eat you alive..
    Have been in the Highlands before and couldnt change lens,all the bugs just wanna get inside the camera.

    Skin so soft" looks like good option to keep them away.

    Yes Scott,gonna work 9am-16pm for 3 days in a row.....not used to that

    But do I need permission to hunt on the beaches????????
