The British Geological Survey (BGS) recorded the magnitude 3.8 tremor in the Moidart area just before 3.45pm.
People in the area shared their experiences on Twitter.
One wrote: “Think I just experienced a minor #earthquake, here on Ardnamurchan . . . Anyone else feel it, my kitchen rumbled.”
Another said: “Just experienced 2 earthquake tremors . . . Never felt anything like that, like the ground beneath us was exploding. Terrifying!”
