Residents in a Highland village in the West Highlands are reporting that they were awakened by an earthquake described as a deep rumble in the early hours. According to reports, people inside homes felt shaking and heard or perceived a low, heavy sound before fully realizing an earthquake had occurred. The Scotsman describes residents being “shaken awake,” with at least one villager reporting a “deep rumble.” A separate report from Yahoo News similarly says residents were awoken by “deep rumbling,” indicating the main accounts focus on sensory observations—how the event felt and sounded—rather than on specific impacts. Both sources present the event as a recorded earthquake, though neither provides additional details in the excerpts provided, such as magnitude, exact time, or the extent of damage. At this stage, the shared information is that the earthquake is detected and that residents in the West Highland area experience it strongly enough to wake them during the early morning hours.
