Peak season is May to September, when weather is mildest and days are longest. However, shoulder seasons offer quieter roads and spectacular seasonal scenery.

Midges are a small biting insect found in parts of Scotland, particularly in the Highlands and on still, humid days. While they can be a nuisance, they’re usually easy to manage. They are most active in the early morning and evening, and importantly, they cannot fly in winds above around 6mph—so a light breeze often keeps them at bay. When cycling, you’re unlikely to notice them much, as movement naturally discourages them. Simple measures like using insect repellent and covering up when stationary can make your experience much more comfortable.
