I shot a big dog fox (small lamb killer) weighed it and was surprised to find he only weighed 7kg

Possible dog attack, carcasses finished off by foxes, badgers and winged predators.

(or maybe the Beast of Argyll? Here in Dorset some still think there is a large member of the cat family that they've named the beast that is responsible for similar deaths)

Possibly some kind of wild cat/beast. There's quite a few reports in my area from wild animals that were released or escaped years ago and are still roaming around. We had a foal attacked and left for dead years ago.

I'd say badger.  We used to mark up lambs with Stockholm tar and was taught to mark haunches for the fox and the neck for the badger. Hope you find the culprit x

They may have been stripping the carcass a bit (and you can usually tell by the teeth marks on bones etc) but they are certainly not pulling down fat lambs. . . . . . and neither is a badger. If healthy weaned lambs are being killed in their multiples. . . . . there is something more afoot that either fox or badger predation. . . . . .
