Kellas, Elgin, IV30 8TS

Kellas, Moray is situated in the northeast of Dallas on the B9010 road. The village lends its name to the Kellas cat, a large black felid that is an interspecific hybrid between the Scottish wildcat and the domestic cat. The Kellas cat was once thought to be a mythological wild cat; early sightings were dismissed as hoaxes until a specimen was killed in a snare by a gamekeeper in 1984 and identified as a hybrid. It is not a formal cat breed but represents a population of felid hybrids. The locality is referenced in Wikimedia Commons, which hosts media related to Kellas, Moray. The area is characterised by its rural setting and the unique wildlife heritage associated with the Kellas cat.
