It was the denouement to a whirlwind that had engulfed — or at least amused — the communities of Kingussie and Kincraig in the Scottish highlands, where about 1,500 humans live.
Since the macaque went on the lam, his fate had drawn reporters who waited nearby for updates on the monkey’s location.
“Everybody is rooting for this monkey,” said Carl Nagle, a Kincraig resident who spotted the monkey on Sunday in his backyard, apparently snacking on even more birdfeed.
“He must be having a ball living his best life.”For his part, Mr. Nagle said he was “hugely relieved,” that the monkey was caught, saying that he needed to return to his troop.
“This is ridiculous — and yet it is somehow perfect,” Mr. Nagle said.
