Earthquake!


The loudest earthquake we've had here occurred at 8.14 this morning - it sounded like an explosion - and the ground shook.  The British Geological Survey site at Plockton - seismograph record above - showed the event clearly.

The earthquake was later reported to be a magnitude 2.4 event, at a depth of four kilometres below Glenuig, with people reporting tremors as far away as Inverness - see BGS report here.
