reasonably priced, seems to work quite well, doesn't smell too bad! I was told by a friend that it was concocted in Scotland for keeping the Scottish midges/flies at bay, so probably a good bet that it'll work well.
Another vote for Smidge. I'm allergic to mozzies, horseflies etc etc and usually get bitten to death when no-one else is. Smidge is the ONLY thing I've ever found that actually works.
Any old crap that has a reasonably high proportion of DEET will work, but Smidge is much nicer.
Alternatively, for a powerful homeopathic midge repellant, drop a squashed midge into a loch or a reservoir, run round to the other side and fill up a sigg bottle.
Used Avon Skin So Soft for years, and although they didn't bite you (they absorb the oily mess and die on contact with your skin leaving you with dead midges all over you), it never actually kept them away.
Smidge not only stops them biting you, but it does actually seem to repel them as well. Which is handy since I stopped smoking, as that was also always a good anti-midge defence!!
