Scotland in July - bad idea or not ?

Finding somewhere that will take 3 dogs also complicates things. I’ve just looked on Canine cottages at Loch Nesd for mid July, for places that take 3 dogs, and there are only two! 

We have 3 dogs and stayed south of the Cairngorms in a lovely cottage in Cortachy, place slept 8, took 3 dogs, was peaceful and in the countryside with lovely views.  Not very close to the lochs you wanted but maybe an alternative?  We went in late May and had no problems with midges

They were all so negative we are now thinking it may be a bad idea and to wait until September onwards for scotland

Are they all just scaremongerers or are they right ?

cheers

As a aside I have never been bothered with midges in Cumbria, have I just been lucky or is there a reason for this?

They are about up here in Cumbria (especially in some of the hotspots- Wasdale Head for example) but they're not anywhere near as pernicious or as mean. They're like midgies on tranquilizers.

I’ve been to Cumbria many times.  I’ve never seen a single midge.  I suspect that’s because I always go outside the high season.
