There is fury tonight, even from conservationists, about the confirmed release of controversial lynx onto land near Insh Marshes by Kingussie.

A Police Scotland spokesperson told the Strathy this evening: “Around 4.20pm on Wednesday, 8 January 2025, police were advised that two lynx had been spotted in the Drumguish area near to Kingussie.

“As a precaution, and also for the animals’ safety, specially trained staff from Highland Wildlife Park are assisting officers to trace them.

“Members of the public are asked not to approach the lynx nor indeed attend the area, but instead to contact police via 101 if they are spotted.
