"Big cat" sightings reported to Police Scotland and Scottish Government have been revealed after an FOI request.
The correspondence detailing reports of mysterious large felines between police officers, the Scottish Government and other official bodies has been released.
Police probed a spate of killings in 2016 with sheep carcasses stripped of meat in a way which didn't resemble fox or bird attacks. Some three to four sightings of a big cat were recorded by one officer.
