A small earthquake has hit Blackford in Perth and Kinross.
The 1.3 magnitude tremor struck at 1.24am on Saturday, according to the British Geological Survey.
There have been a number of tremors over Scotland in the last few months as the Earth’s crust moves under pressure.
The largest known Scottish earthquake occurred near Loch Awe in 1880, with a magnitude of 5.2.
There are roughly 200-300 quakes in Britain every year, but the vast majority are so small that no one notices them. However between 20-30 are over 2.0 magnitude which can be felt over a wider area.
