Report from Chris Smith
Big Black Cat On The Prowl
From the Aberdeen Evening Express 31 st July 2003
A Large black beast has been seen prowling near a golf course.
It is the second reported big cat sighting in Aberdeenshire in recent days.
Insch course worker Dave Wilson, 57, said he saw a puma-like animal as he was tending to the green. He described it as being jet black, with a cat-like face.
"I had just completed the raking of the 9th green," he said. "There's a small field between the Kennethmont road and the railway, and I saw a huge beast walking along quite casually.
"It was in the open for about a minute, then it disappeared. It appeared again on the railway line sniffing around a pole."
On Saturday, Belhelvie woman Kathleen Smith was startled when a similar animal raced out in front of her car and into woods near Dyce.
