A timely warning.
We were canoeing on Lochs Shiel, Moidart and Ailort the week before last. Many ticks found. I got lucky and had no bites, but some of our group had many. Wild camping, so pretty much inevitable that we encountered them these days, especially with kids running around too. All fully equipped with Tick Tools, (O'Tom Tick Twisters mostly) which make it SOOO much easier. All of us now keeping an eye out for any of the Lyme warning signs, just in case.
Most found were just tiny nymphs, pin head sized. Mostly on shortish grass, probably where deer lie up.
One of our group left his drysuit turned inside out to dry on infested grass. Oh, how we laughed as he kept getting bitten from that day onwards...
