A large puma-like cat has been sighted again in Midlothian.
Evelyn MacRae, 53, spotted the animal in the back garden of her home in Roslin three weeks ago.
She said: "I was going to close my curtains for the night when I saw this shape.
"I knew it was too big to be a domestic cat.
"It was crouching down beside my pond about 15 feet away from me.
"It was a hot night so perhaps it was looking for a drink. I found it quite a frightening experience so I stayed inside."
She added: "We only live about 100 yards away from Rosslyn Chapel and there are lots of fields round about us."
Mrs MacRae, a housekeeper, lives in Wallace Crescent, which is not far from an earlier sighting of the so-called "Beast of Roslin".
Wildlife enthusiast Alastair Ross photographed the animal near his cottage in Roslin, estimating it to be around three feet long with a tail measuring about one-and-half feet.
Meanwhile, maintenance manager John Doran, 47, believes he saw a puma at around 5pm on Friday in the grounds of Pittendreich Nursing Home in Lasswade where he works.
He said: "I saw this thing in the grounds so I ran and got a pair of binoculars.
"It was massive with a long tail and pointed ears. I'm sure it was a puma."
