Overview

• A magnitude 3.3 earthquake struck near Loch Lyon at 7:25am at a depth of about 3 km, according to the British Geological Survey.
• Two smaller tremors followed within minutes, a 1.4 at 7:31am and a 1.2 roughly 11 minutes later, forming a short sequence.
• Residents reported light shaking, a low rumble and rattling doors, with very weak shaking noted up to roughly 50 miles away.
• Authorities and monitoring agencies reported no injuries or significant damage and are continuing to track seismic activity.
• Seismologists note such events are common in Britain and often linked to glacial rebound and regional tectonic stresses, far below Scotland’s 1880 Loch Awe quake of magnitude 5.2.
