We gave each other a good check over after that hill, but were surprised to find no sign of ticks. However the following day on a much nicer walk (report in preparation) with no adverse vegetation we picked up one each. They are good at getting in unexpected and awkward places!

Reading your report that is one summit that I will not include on my “must do” list; SI-153 sounds more like my sort of hill
We tend to prefer uniques, but SI-153 is one I can see us repeating. Definitely recommended for anyone visiting Mull.
