Report from George Markie
On the edge of the bleak Forest of Alyth, between Alyth and Glen Isla, is the small village of Kilry, in wild Macbeth country.
Witnesses told police that a "large black cat-like creature" was seen twice, at 8 am and 1 pm, in a snow covered field opposite the village store.
It was described as "bigger than any domestic cat or dog," and about 2 ft high.
