A dog walker has sparked a lively discussion in Perth after spotting a “sinister figure” in woods by North Muirton.

Community councillor Gary Mcteague took a photograph of the figure, already dubbed the North Muirton Sasquatch.

“My dog is usually quite timid but it started going mental,” Mr Mcteague said after posting a picture online showing a Bigfoot-like creature.

“I managed to grab a quick snap on my phone before “it” ran off. Has anyone else seen this or know what it is?”

On the community council’s Facebook page, posters described the image as a sasquatch, the bogey man and “a man in a hoodie”.
