Big Cats Sightings
The Sun, November 18 th 1997
Our dramatic picture of the 'Beast of Fife' in yesterday's Scottish Sun came as no surprise to many readers. There has been a stunning response to many Sun stories of the muscular big cats who stalk Scotland's woodlands. Here, we print a small selection of your letters:
"During a school summer holiday we stayed near Crinan, Argyllshire, where I would take walks with my pet dog and my parents over the fields. One day a farmer told us we couldn't walk over his land because 12 sheep were slaughtered during the night. The next night farmers gunned down a four foot long cat but the killings still continued. The farmer said: "We only caught a wild cat. They feed on the lambs but the cats that have been killing the sheep are huge. People have seen them carrying a fully grown sheep on their backs."
