An earthquake struck in one rural village at the weekend.
According to the British Geological Survey’s Earthquake Seismology Team, the earthquake was recorded at one of its sensor locations – on the A85, north of Lochearnhead.
The tremble was recorded at 3.51pm on Sunday and registered as a 1.0 magnitude on the Richter scale.
Anything below 2.5 is usually not felt, although not impossible, but can be recorded by seismograph.
In March last year, we told how a small earthquake was recorded in Stirling. The minor tremor was recorded near the Powis Burn, near to the A91 at Blairlogie.
