I felt them having a little nibble ..but I think they decided years ago that I wasnt to their taste !
If you can source it online at a reasonable price ..Ballistol Stichfrei is the best repellent Ive used ( its German) ..takes care of midges & ticks and also works in tropical climates ..other than that Smidge was developed in Scotland with the midge in mind ..

Personally I find "Jungle Formula" - Max Strength does the job. It worked in Malyasia, Singapore, Honk Kong, Australia. And it works here. One of my mates (rip) used to be in the Marines and was deployed to guard the submarine bases in Scotland. He wasn't on gate duty, he was based in the surrounding hills with his sniper rifle. So he could not move about much. He swore by Avon's "Skin So Soft". Avon do not claim it is an insect repellent that is especially effective on midges. It would cost at least £250k to get it approved as a midge repellent, but coverage on the internet does the job for free. :)
