Quake shakes Highland glen

A HIGHLAND glen has been rocked by an earthquake.

The 1.3 magnitude tremor’s epicentre was at Gairloch, in Wester Ross.

It was recorded at 11.08am on Friday with a depth of just over three miles.

‘It was felt, by a few people, at the local radio station in Gairloch, who reported windows rattled and a mic on a boom arm bounced up and down’, said a British Geological Survey spokesman.

He added that one woman went outside as she thought ‘something had hit the house’.
