Horrified residents on the Isle of Mull were woken up last night by an earthquake registering 3.3 on the richtor scale. The British Geological Survey confirmed that the epicentre of the quake was the tiny village of Dervaig, which is about halfway between Tobermory and Calgary.
The tremor was felt by residents at around 7.30pm on Monday, January 29 when locals say they felt their windows and doors shake.
Residents on the island described hearing their doors and windows shake at 7.30pm on Monday, while other worried residents said the thought there had been a “large explosion” on the Scottish island, which is incredibly popular with tourists.
One local resident posted on social media: “Anyone else here on the Isle of Mull think we’ve had a couple of earth tremors this evening? Like a rumbling train in a tunnel and lasting for a good number of seconds.”
A second added: “We heard a weird bang and the glasses and plates in the dresser started rattling.”
