This made the front page of the local rag the Border Telagraph last week
WALKERS at this weekend’s hiking festival in Selkirk are being warned to watch out for the Bridgelands Beast.
A large black cat was spotted prowling in fields just outside the town on Monday morning.
And experts believe the colossal creature is likely to be a panther.
Dog walker Linda Connor observed the beast as it strolled down through a field adjacent to Spion Kop.
She told the Border Telegraph: “It was pure black and bigger than my dog which is a German Shepherd.
“At first I thought it was a big dog, but as it kept coming down the field I soon realized it was a really big cat – a giant cat.
“I know how big a domestic cat can get but this was twice that size. It was a big powerful looking animal.
“There were sheep in the field and they had all gathered away at the other end.”
Farmer Scott Lambie revealed his flock at the Bridgelands had been acting unsettled over the weekend.
But there are no reports of any kills.
