Report from Mike Inglis
Large Cat shot by crofter
From an email, February 2002
While reporting a sighting by the South Esk at East Kintrockat (near Brechin) on 28 th May 1986, the witness also mentioned:
Another source of sightings or reports of sightings is a Gamekeeper friend of mine in Wester Ross, who has, amongst others, an intriguing story (?) of a crofter whom he knows actually shooting one which he found after his hens, taking the body to the local police station ( he had complained to them previously about the cat and they had laughed at him) which he left with them for examination by experts, returning to the police station two days later to find the police denying any knowledge of the incident at all !
