Two earthquakes were recorded in a west Stirling village just three days apart last week.
According to the British Geological Survey (BGS) Seismology Team – the UK’s national earthquake monitoring agency – two separate tremors were recorded near the Stirlingshire village of Kippen.
The first was recorded at precisely 8.12pm on Tuesday, February 18, and was recorded near the A811, just south of Flanders Moss Nature Reserve.
Villagers there did not report any tremors or damage to property as a result of the 1.3 magnitude tremor whoch opccurred at a depth of around 3km.
Almost three days later, a second shockwave was recorded just a short distance away, on land close to the B8037 near Kippen.
The second shake was recorded at 9.57pm on Friday, February 21, and registered a 1.2 magnitude at a depth of 3km.
