The big cat was reportedly sitting on Arthur’s Seat - the peak of a group of hills in Edinburgh’s Holyrood Park - in 2012 by a police helicopter.
Inspector Nick Whyte was one of the officers on board the helicopter, that was dispatched to search for a vulnerable mother in the middle of the night after a two-year-old baby was discovered abandoned close to St Leonard’s police station.
While searching through undergrowth with infrared camera, Inspector Whyte set eyes on what he is convinced was a puma.
He told the Edinburgh Evening News: “We detected a very large heat source that we thought was possibly the mother.
“As I directed a female police officer towards it, the heat source got up and it turns out it was a big cat–we think a puma or something like that.”
Describing the animal as “three times the size”of a nearby female police officer, Inspector Whyte is certain this was no domestic cat.
