Report from Chris Smith
Large cat-like animal seen between Inverarnie and Daviot
From 'Eyewitness Accounts' in Cat Country, The Quest for the British Big Catby Di Francis, David and Charles, 1983
19 th October 1980, Between Inverarnie and Daviot, Inverness-shire.
At about 6.20 pm on 19 October, an Inverness woman motorist was travelling from Inverarnie to Daviot when she saw a large cat-like animal by the roadside. It was a fairly bright night and visibility was excellent. She described it as slightly taller and longer than an adult Labrador dog, but slightly slimmer in build. It was yellow-fawn all over, the head was round with a short face and the tail was much longer in proportion to its body than that of a dog of the same size. It moved very gracefully, like a cat.
