Comment posted Islay’s quakes ripple on to Fair Isle by Treble T.
It is a pity that the BGS do not show the depth in miles as well, then it would solve any arguments. For the record a kilometre is five eights of a mile or 0.625 of a mile. Therefore 8 kilometres equate to 5 miles.

- SNP tightens party grip on local councillors in further chaos
I suggest that all the councillors in Argyll & Bute resign their seats as the electorate could easily manage without them. - Amazon given government grants
Waterstones and Amazon charge publishers 70% of the cover price of a book that they sell. - Amazon given government grants
Amazon have a large warehouse in Dunfermline.
The Scottish Government gave Amazon £10 Million in grants last year and Alex Salmond says that he is not going to demand that Amazon refund the money.
If Amazon want to route their profits through Luxemburg then I suggest that they have their warehouses based in Luxemburg as well where it would cost Amazon a lot more to post their orders to the UK. - SNP departures from administration – was money a factor?
Lowry.
It was the electorate of Argyll & Bute who are to blame. They voted in this bunch of incompetant councillors.
If these incompentant councillors were honourable people they would resign as Argyll & Bute councillors and force a series of by elections.
However there is no chance of that happening as this incompetant bunch will happilly take their councillors’ salary for the next four years until the council elections in May 2016. - SNP departures from administration – was money a factor?
Good to see that Councillor Freeman’s computer is working again and he is able send emails.
I am still waiting for a reply to an email I sent to him on Sunday 14th April 2013 which was 4 weeks past Sunday!

Shortly after midnight on 1 Mar in SW Iceland there were two shocks, the largest being 4.7, which did some damage to property. Further shocks occurred over the next couple of days: some in N Iceland.

My neighbour said “the Earth is speaking to us”, but he confessed he didn’t know what it was saying.
Earthquakes on Islay are perhaps related to the Highland Fault which comes down the Great Glen and a branch turns left and runs between the two halves of the island. But they were deep (9–10 km) whereas the one the same day at Arrochar, and there was another one there at 8.34 am today, were much shallower, only 1–2 km.
By the way, the BGS website says the Fair Isle one was 9 km down not your 1.9 miles – or have you got conversion problems!!
