I intend to go camping in Scotland (mainly the Isle of Mull, that is Western, central Scotland) next week, i.e. last week of May. I have read quite a lot about the weather and know I should prepare...

<p>I intend to go camping in Scotland (mainly the <a href="http://maps.google.fr/maps?q=Isle+of+Mull&hl=en&ll=56.444277,-3.592529&spn=4.057619,11.140137&sll=46.75984,1.738281&sspn=10.05763,22.280273&t=h&geocode=FZ4xXQMdCW-k_w&hnear=Isle+of+Mull&z=7">Isle of Mull</a>, that is Western, central Scotland) next week, i.e. last week of May. I have read quite a lot about the weather and know I should prepare for wetness, unexpected changes in cloudiness, midges, possible wind, and 2 to 15 °C temperatures at day. However, I could not find much information regarding the sleeping part of wild camping.</p> <p>What kind of temperatures should I prepare for at night, and what kind of gear (sleeping bag grade) does it mean taking?</p> <p>Considering the wind and rain, may I take a standard tent, or are the winds really strong at night? Is there any specific advice beyond securing all pegs and stretching strings far away?</p>
