A spectral beast seen by the Laird of Ardblair, Scotland. in modern times. His wife also had a sighting. His first impression was that it was like an American moose - actually the European elk is identical with the American moose and is known to have roamed Scotland until about the year 1300. Could there be a few surviving? He also entertained the impression that it could have been a Great Irish Elk - an extinct creature which was in fact no elk but a deer and whose range as far from confined to Ireland. To add to the confusion, in America the term elk is applied to the wapiti.
