What a sighting!

A local captured what appeared to be a mink roaming around the flats near the River Kelvin last week and shared the footage with the Glasgow Times.

The animal was spotted quite close to the flats on Collina Street in Maryhill, which are recognised by fans of Still Game as being the location for Osprey Heights, where Jack Jarvis, Victor McDade and Isa Drennan live. The American mink was brought to the UK in 1929 to establish fur farms. Since then there have reportedly been many escapes.

The semi-aquatic animals are now widespread across Scotland with the exception of the far north of the country and some of the islands.
