Report from Chris Smith
Two black felids spotted in Strathallan
April 1999, report by email
I have just discovered your site and thought you would be interested in a sighting I encountered April 1999. On a train journey between Perth and Stirling, around 9.20 a.m., I witnessed what I believe to be two large felines about 25 metres from the track in a field. Both were black and both around 5 feet long I would estimate. One was stationary and the other was walking slowly to the right.On trying to get the attention of the other manager i was travelling with to turn around we entered a tunnel. Ihave travelled this route many more times for area meetings and have never again encountered anything else although I carried a camera and binoculars on every journey after. The sighting would have been just before the Dunblane Station.
