Report from Ronnie Patterson
The Panther of the North
Caithness or Sutherland, September 1992
The area was a forest in Sutherland/Caithness. The game keeper who was the witness does not want his name known or even the location of the forest. He was doing his rounds when he suddenly sighted a large black cat, it was he said to be the size of a Labrador dog, although the head was like that of a puma or panther. It had a long sweeping tail and moved in a cat-like manner. It actually cut across the game keepers path about ten feet in front of him, then it shot off into the forest. The man in question had never seen anything like it before.
