The British Geological Survey said the 2.1 magnitude quake hit Roybridge in the Highlands shortly before 9.30pm last night. The agency said the rumble happened at a depth of 7.5km.

It was felt by residents in in Spean, Bohenie and Roughburn, with reports of a “big banging” noise. One wrote: “Another earthquake in Roybridge???”

A second said: “I just heard a big banging in Spean, I thought it was someone’s bins or something.”

While a third commented: “Heard and felt it.”

The British Geological Survey said a small number of reports were received by members of the public in the Roybridge area indicating they felt this event.

It comes after Scotland recorded a 3.1 magnitude quake in the west of the country on Tuesday with a 1.6 magnitude quake reported at Roybridge nearly an hour later.

Rosemary Neagle, who lives on a farm in Kilmartin Glen near Lochgilphead, said the noise of the tremor was so loud that she initially thought something had exploded in one of her sheds.
