Hi there,
Oh, gosh, the daggone 'midgies' are a gnat like insect that swarms in
late August and early September. They are like what we call "no
see 'ems" until that sting you. No one yet has come up with an
effective insect repellent for these nasty critters. Anyone who does
will surely make a FORTUNE!!
This year they were particularly abundant as it was a very damp Spring
in Scotland and one dry summer. The are most prevalent in the
moors and as we had to pass through Grannoch Moor to get to Fort William
we ran into slews of the dreaded "midgies" when we got out of
the car for a "pit stop" at this very old...very quaint hotel in the
middle of no where on the way. The hotel was tiny, the furniture
in the so called lobby was old and worn, kinda seedy over all, but, boy,
was that toilet a welcome sight..and the water pressure was
fantastic! The toilet paper was reasonably soft to the touch, not the
wax paper type I had come to expect from a previous trip to Paris
in the '60s. I had come armed with LOTS of Kleenex that I found I
didn't need at all.
So much for now.
Warm regards,
Marlene
P. S. Want to be my agent? I'm a rank amateur at this stuff. But I've
got a book in the works, a very serious one.
P.P.S. Alex Hood can be reached at ScotHigh(a)aol.com. He's quite a funny
man, I can tell you. We laughed a lot together this last trip.
As we ran into the vestabule..also very tiny..Then we met up with a
handwritten sign that said "Close the door against the midgies." Got
no argument from me about that one. We faced another door just in
front of us which we promptly opened and slammed shut ...just in
case. Alex Hood, our Travel Agent in Scotland told us that that hotel
has been there from time immemorial. Alex in in his 40's and
remembers it since he was a boy

Hi! I only now got to read your (Marlene Cameron) very
interestingly
informative and most engaging e-mail of 9/29/99 re your trip to
Scotland
and I must say I do hope you will tell me you are a professional
writer (or
at least that you are aiming in that direction! For you truly are one
gifted
lady! I was most disappointed that it so soon ended! Your
descriptive
scenes just wrapped themselves around me and pulled me in to share
the
experience and also the people! You go, Girl! -- I hope you keep a
journal/diary and are going to submit your writings to a publisher --
that
is, if you haven't done so as yet! I will eagerly look forward
to
reading
your every page/book/books! Thank you for so generously and so
engagingly
sharing all you have! I also look forward to reading more from you
on the
rootsweb! -- You have inspired me to consider taking a trip not only
to
lovely Scotland but hopefully to Mrs. Hamill's B&B! And I
am sure
she and
Fort William, and your Tour Guide?Scottish Highland Entertainments --
if not
all of Scotland! :-) -- will very soon be finding themselves much
busier!
-- after many have read your fantastic descriptives and praises of
all!
As an avid reader (also a poet/writer and sometimes a contributing
editor)
I would wager on it! And were I a publisher -- especially of a
travel
magazine [ANY PUBLISHERS READING THIS?!] -- I'd call you with an
offer or at
least would like to SEE MORE of your writing!
Just one more thing -- if I may ask, what exactly are "midgies" -- in
the
context you refer to them? I'm in the USA! ;-) !! and so...
want to
surmise that maybe you meant Leprauchans?)
Sincerely,
