A sighting of a “large black cat” on the outskirts of Forfar has been reported to police.
Officers responded and searched the area at the quarry on Sunday but it is understood nothing was found.
It is the latest in a line of sightings of a large black cat in the Angus and Mearns area.
In 2015, Jo Tonkinson, a leather worker and saddle maker in Shetland, was travelling to a horse riding seminar when she saw a black creature ‘stalking’ along the fence line just off the A90 near Edzell.
It followed a similar big cat sighting near the same spot two years previously.
At the time there were other sightings near Benholm Mill and Auchenblae.
Sightings of big cats have been reported across Courier Country for years, with most centred on the countryside of Angus and north-east Fife.
