Report from Reuel Chisholm
Two young sisters were frozen in fear when they confronted a "panther" in a forest in the Black Isle, Ross-shire.
Josie Gaitens, 12, and sister Hannah, eight, were walking in woods near their village, Avoch, when they saw something in the bushes and saw "a huge black head."
The sighting is one of several in the area and has heightened fears that an
escaped wild panther or puma is roaming through Ross-shire.
