The wildcat has since been nicknamed the Clashindarroch Beast and is believed to be the biggest ever wildcat captured on camera.
Doctor Paul O'Donaghue said: "We've found one of the biggest wildcat ever recorded. It is so exciting.
'People thought this animal was extinct, that it didn't exist, and this cat proves otherwise.
'Most people have been to a zoo and seen what they thought was a wildcat, but that was probably a hybrid.
'This is a true Scottish wildcat and is completely different, and is completely different from a domestic cat. And I think that is why people are so excited. This is the real deal.'
