Scouse G,
Bad news mate, Garelochhead has one pub and 90000000000000000000000000000000000000000 midges.
Seriously, Helensburgh will be the place to do your local supping.
On the midgey front ,I don't know if you are aware, but the best midgey repelent is ,Ding Dong Avon Calling. I suffer from midges and anything else that bites quite badly and I've tried all the old wives remedies and the issue stuff [good if you don't like somebody, put it on there car] and the best I have found is Avon Skin So Soft [Woodland Fresh].
The only problem is you might find the Navy and the locals may pay you abit of attention.
PM me if you want more info, but I'm sure there will be somebody on here that has serve d at Faslane .

Take waterproofs. Preferably Goretex. Thermals may be handy. This is Scotland after all, and look at the weather we're having on the south coast of England at the moment.
If you're wearing full coverage clothing, 100% DEET works a treat for mossies...available from any good outdoor shop. Kept me bite free for a month in the Vietnamese rainforest and highlands. DO NOT SPRAY ON BARE SKIN...trust me

Why can't you accept that some days you're the pigeon, and some days you're the statue.

We have indeed, as you can tell by the copious amounts of Scots who are that lobster red colour that only us Scots can possibly gorabby wrote:You can all take the piss out of the Scottish summer, but while you people have been getting floods and thunderstorms the last few days, we've had glorious hours of sunshine. Makes a change.
