Kisah dan tradisi

Dalam folklor Skotlandia, Galloway Puma adalah "kucing hantu" yang konon tinggal di Dumfries and Galloway, Skotlandia barat daya. Desas-desus tentang kucing besar di Galloway bermula pada akhir 1990-an, ketika wisatawan Kanada mengaku melihat hewan mirip cougar dekat Kirroughtree, tenggara Newton Stewart, sepulang berjalan di Hutan Galloway. Warga Newton Stewart juga mengaku melihatnya pada 1999. Setelah itu banyak orang, terutama petani dan pekerja Forestry Commission, mengaku melihat kucing hitam besar di wilayah itu, terutama di daerah Machars. Pada Juni 2001, seorang perempuan yang mengajak anjingnya berjalan dekat lapangan golf Newton Stewart dikejutkan "kucing hitam besar, lebih besar dari anjing alsatian" yang melompat ke arahnya lalu lari ketika anjingnya menggonggong. Artikel zh mencatat penampakan lain pada Desember 2012 oleh Alan Dalton dan istrinya. The Galloway Gazette pada 2013 melaporkan wisatawan di Kirroughtee Hotel, di luar Newton Stewart, berjumpa dekat dengan kucing besar yang sukar ditangkap. Surat kabar itu juga menyebut dalam empat tahun terakhir ada 20 laporan penampakan kucing besar yang masuk kepadanya.

Scottish folklore places a 'phantom cat', the Galloway Puma, in the Dumfries and Galloway region of south-west Scotland. Talk of a big cat in Galloway started in the late 1990s, when Canadian tourists said they had seen a cougar-like animal near Kirroughtree, south-east of Newton Stewart, on the way back from a walk in Galloway Forest. Locals in Newton Stewart reported it too in 1999. Since then many people, especially farmers and Forestry Commission staff, have claimed sightings of a big black cat across the region, mostly in the Machars. In June 2001 a woman walking her dog near Newton Stewart golf course was startled by a 'large black cat, bigger than an alsatian' that sprang out at her and fled when her dog barked. The zh article records another sighting in December 2012 by Alan Dalton and his wife. In 2013 The Galloway Gazette reported that holidaymakers at Kirroughtee Hotel, outside Newton Stewart, had a close encounter with an elusive big cat. It also said that in the past four years 20 big cat sightings had been reported to it.
