A former trainee zookeeper reports the sighting of a black panther at the woods around Skibo Castle estate in Sutherland.
Mr. Ian Laing, 36, of Fairview Crescent, Tain, employed as a water bailiff by the Kyle of Sutherland Fishery Board, was on his way home at 3.30am yesterday when he saw the animal crossing the A9 Inverness-Wick road.
It is believed that the cat may have been chasing a roe deer.
