Earthquake­s leave Glen Coe locals shaken

-

Two earthquake­s have been felt by locals in Glen Coe, Scottish Highlands.

People living in Ballachuli­sh said they could also hear a deep rumbling sound, it was reported.

The British Geological Survey detected a magnitude 1.9 earthquake at 5:40pm on Wednesday and a magnitude 1.7 quake six minutes later.

Small earthquake­s have previously been recorded in Fort William and Jura, linked to seismic activity along the Great Glen Fault, a zone of fractures in two blocks of rock that are moving slowly in opposite directions.
