BCC EP:115 The leopard trail to Skye

Big Cat Conversations

12-09-2024 • 1 hr 18 mins

Our first guest Graham recounts a close encounter with a large black cat on the Isle of Skye during one of his fishing trips. We discuss how a cat like a black leopard could have arrived on Skye and how well such a cat could go unnoticed in the island’s wild terrain.

For our second guest we catch up with Scotland research coordinator Paul Macdonald. Amongst recent highlights he describes two clips of footage shown to him at a recent rural show stand, and a report of a roadside puma carcass being recovered by a military crew.

Thanks to Scottish folk singer Shona Donaldson for Beast o’the Bin.
