Building in Perth and Kinross, Scotland
The Earthquake House from the west
The Earthquake House , on the outskirts of the village of Comrie, in Perth and Kinross , Scotland , was the first dedicated earthquake observatory in the world. Comrie lies on the Highland Boundary Fault and suffers more tremors and quakes than anywhere else in the United Kingdom . The first modern seismometer was invented in Comrie in 1840 and the building put up 32 years later[1] [2] [3]
By 1911 the building was redundant, and, although restored and re-commissioned in 1988 with modern equipment,[4] [5]
