Is this the Beast of Banff?

Banffshire Journal: 28th March 2007

The Banffshire Journal
   
THE Beast of Banff, the mysterious large cat-like creature spotted prowling in the area, has been captured on video.
Now you can see the footage exclusively on the Banffshire Journal’s own website.
The footage comes courtesy of a Banffie reader from the Cornhill area, who does not want to disclose his identity or the exact location of the sighting.
He spotted the beast from his house last summer, crossing a field some distance away. In case the cat came back, he set up a video camera pointing down the field – and yes, the cat did re-appear.
With all the recent publicity in the Banffie, the reader has come forward and given a copy of the footage to the Journal.
But what do YOU think it is? Take a look at the video and you'll see clear footage of a cat of some sort moving in the field – and try to compare it to the size of nearby fenceposts.
You can have your say in The Big Vote. Is it just a big domestic cat – or something much more mysterious?
