Abstract
SLIGHT earth tremors are reported to have occurred on February 3 at Stirling in Scotland. No damage has been done. The tremors may have been occasioned by slipping along a local fault. Similar tremors were reported from Roslin, near Edinburgh, on February 10, 1934, though the most active region seismically in Scotland is near Comrie in Perthshire, where the slight tremors are considered to be due to slipping along the Highland Boundary Fault system.
