'Big Cat Sightings in Scotland'

by

Paul MacDonald

Paul MacDonald is a professional custom sword and knife-maker, historical fencing master and traditional story-teller originally from the village of Glenuig in Moidart.

His own big cat sighting was in the late 1980s, but Paul only became more dedicated to the subject shortly after moving to the Scottish Borders in 2019.

Paul served 10 years as an Army Reservist, mostly with Military Intelligence, and took those skills with him in establishing the Scottish Big Cat Research Team in 2019.

The collective efforts of the Team stand as the largest research efforts conducted into this subject in the UK to date.
