    Earthquake-hit historic site partly reopening





    An earthquake felt widely across Scotland and parts of Northern Ireland last year left a lasting mark on a historic site in Argyll.

    Properties at Auchindrain, a farming township with buildings dating from 1700s, were shaken by November's 3.3 magnitude quake.

    The site was close to the epicentre of the tremor and was forced to shut because of damage caused to stone-built buildings - those constructed with lime mortar and others from just interlocked stones.

    Auchindrain is to reopen on 1 June following essential repairs, but some of the damaged buildings will remain closed.

    Of roofed and usable properties, four will be off limits while a fifth needs urgent repairs.

    The earthquake was recorded just before 02:00 on 16 November.

    British Geological Survey said its epicentre was at Achnamara, west of Lochgilphead in Argyll.

    More than 30 people reported having felt the tremor, from as far away as Edinburgh and Ballycastle in Northern Ireland.

    The survey recorded the quake at a depth of seven miles (12km) below the Earth's surface.

    Auchindrain, six miles (10km) south of Inveraray, has been described as the most complete example of thousands of small independent farming communities once found across Scotland. The site's properties include houses, byres and stables.
