Police warn that two lynx are on the loose in the Highlands. Although I can’t imagine calling 101 and patiently quoting incident number 2179/08/01/25 if a big cat were on my tail!

Two lynx have been spotted in the Drumguish area near to Kingussie. Specially trained staff from Highland Wildlife Park are assisting officers to trace them. Do not approach the lynx or attend the area, but instead call police via 101. Quote inc no 2179/08/01/25 when calling.




Kudos for the admission. But how did this "false information" come to be "going around the press pool within the cathedral"? If they were in the cathedral, they must have known it was false, because none of them heard it (because it didn't happen).
