Pawprint identification - please help!
Hi! Can anyone identify the three pawprints for me?
Took them in the forest when we were in Aberfoyle, in the Scottish Borders, and I'm CONVINCED they're not dog prints!!! There are three - I'm thinking wildcat, bear and wolf!! LOL!! Your opinion greatly received!

I stand corrected... I was in the Trossachs not the Borders! Specifically, Loch Ard forest in the Queen Elizabeth Forest Park ;o)

Are you sure it's not 'reja vu'? (trans: we will be here again)

sorry for dupe - I'm a newbie ;o/
JonathanD - I could upload photos in large format if that would help?

I'm not great at this kind of thing but it looks like 1st perhaps a cat feral or wild, 2nd possibly a dog or a badger or similar, and lastly looks sort of like a Martin or polecat maybe weasel as there is no scale to measure against, maybe even a squirrel if it's in woodland? You should also take into consideration where these prints were located ie woodland, open field, hillside above snowline etc to give something of a starter for ten and would help with ID. As I say though I'm no expert and there are folks much better at this than me.
