Man surrounded by swarm of midges in Cairngorms
A video of a hillwalker’s encounter with a swarm of biting midges has been viewed thousands of times on the internet.
Craig McLaren, assistant outdoors education officer with Falkirk Outdoors and a keen photographer, was on a trek in the Cairngorms last week.
Mr McLaren was part of a group that had tackled Cairn Toul, Sgor an Lochain Uaine and Braeriach.
They were returning to a spot where they had left mountain bikes when they encountered the welcoming party.
