Gaelic song « Innis Dhomhsa cail thu cadail”
Quebec song “Les Maringouins” by La Bolduc (1930)
Instrumental composition « Midges » by IB
If Scotland is blessed with midges, in Québec we enjoy mosquitoes, black flies, deer flies, punkies and no-see-um, as well as biting midges. One more thing we have in common!
La Bolduc was an extremely popular singer in Quebec in the 30s, and she wrote a song about these nuisances.
