Earthquake House, Comrie
Image: © Dr Richard Murray Taken: 3 Aug 2010
Comrie lies close to the Highland Boundary Fault, and suffers from occasional tremors, giving rise to the title 'The Shaky Toon'. This small building originally housed a 'seismoscope', but now has a modern seismograph and records earthquakes occurring all over the world, not just locally.
