In late summer 2010 I witnessed a large cat stalking a hare at night which, at a distance, looked very much like a wild cat; but there was no way of establishing if it was pure bred, hybrid or a feral cat.
I've also seen foot prints and faeces on several occasions since which lead me to believe they are about in this area.
The Scottish Wildcat Association is a charitable organisation dedicated to protecting and conserving Britain's only remaining wild feline and through their wildcat haven project are working hard, not only to improve this cat's chances of survival long term but also its population expansion into areas from which it has disappeared.
If you care about the plight of the Scottish Wildcat you can help either as a volunteer or with fund raising by becoming a member of the association.
