There are mosquitoes in Scotland.
They migrate from West Africa every year in their millions.
Once here, they get married in Gretna, before flying home to mate and rear young.
If you're lucky, you can see clumps of them, on honeymoon at motorway services, feeding on tourists before continuing their journey.
Hope this helps.

But seriously folks, yes, they do occur in Scotland - as if the midges weren't enough to contend with. Scroll down to the distribution maps...
