Report from George Markie
A big cat was blamed for the killing of two sheep and a third missing from a flock high above Loch Shin, near Lairg, in central Sutherland.
One of the sheep was partially eaten and had its ribs crushed, obviously by a powerful animal.
This was the first depredation since the previous winter.
