Aye, we famously have high concentrations of midgies, but we always have done. There's even a map!

Mosquitoes on the other hand are not the norm. There are some species which are native but they don't have large populations. I explore the wilds regularly, from mountain to sea, and haven't experienced them until this year. They were in cities as well!

This is a good article about mosquitoes in Scotland: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/clyq59r8x7ro

Thanks for clarifying that. In Finland there's moquitoes everywhere, from the South Coast to the North of Lapland. Maybe it has something to do with the geography - All of Finland is fairly flat and protected from wind and high seas. And moist.
