A Scottish photographer has shared photos of a tiny earthquake house said to have recorded tremors from the devastating Turkey-Syria earthquake earlier this month.
On February 6, a 7.8-magnitude earthquake and various aftershocks struck southern and central Turkey, and northern and western Syria. As of February 14, more than 37,300 deaths have been confirmed across both countries, and many more remain missing or trapped under collapsed buildings.
A small stone building in Perthshire, known as The Earthquake House, seemingly recorded the earthquake almost 3,000 miles away on a seismometer in the early hours of the morning when the disaster struck. Seismometers are very sensitive instruments and can detect tremors that occur across far distances.
