A HERD of wild boar have been released near a Highlands rewilding estate not far from where four lynx were illegally dumped last month, according to reports.

The group of pigs were photographed in a woodland area near the village of Insh in the Highlands, which is about 12 miles from Kingussie in the Cairngorms National Park, and within about a mile from Dell of Killiehuntly where four young lynx were illegally released in January.

According to the Scotsman, experts said the herd appears to be genetically closer to wild boar than domestic pigs.
