Something in the Scottish Highlands - something BIG moved past our tent

This is fresh - happened last night (19 Nov) near Glencoe. My brother and I were wild camping in a remote spot (grid reference: NN 192 525, near the Lost Valley trail) and around 23:15 we heard something massive moving through the heather just outside our tent. Not a deer, not a person. Something with serious weight.

The tent fabric was vibrating - not from wind but from whatever was moving past. We could hear breathing that was deeper than any human, and the vegetation was audibly being crushed. My brother wanted to look out but I kept him inside. The smell was rank - gamey and sharp, like wet fur mixed with something acrid. It passed in maybe 30 seconds but felt like forever.

We didn't sleep after that. Packed up at first light and hiked out. Before anyone says "bear," there are no bears in Scotland. Before anyone says "deer," I've heard plenty of deer and this was utterly different in scale and sound.

I'm aware this screams "Bigfoot in Scotland" but I'm trying to stay rational. Could this be an actual large animal that isn't formally documented? A boar? Escaped dog? Or am I dealing with something actual unusual? The smell especially bothers me - it was REAL, not imagined.

That grid reference is in proper remote country. Could genuinely be something unusual in that area - there've been persistent reports of large creatures in the Highlands for decades. Not necessarily "Bigfoot" but something unclassified. Have you got any photos or video from the campsite?

Escaped horse? There are wild herds in the Highlands and a spooked horse can smell potent and move loudly. Still doesn't explain the breathing sound, but worth considering. Did you see any hoofprints or droppings the next morning?

The Lost Valley's got a proper reputation with locals - there are old stories about that area. Not trying to spook you retroactively, but you might find interesting folklore if you search. Whether folklore reflects actual animals or just fear, I don't know, but the reports are consistent.

Honestly, most likely explanation is feral goat or escaped farm animal, but the sheer weight you're describing suggests something larger. British cryptid reports from the Highlands are frequent enough that wildlife researchers do take them seriously. Contact the Scottish Wildlife Trust - they have a reporting system.
