Ullapool was affected by the quake.
The British Geological Survey (BGS) recorded a small earthquake on Sunday morning a few miles west of Ullapool.
The 2.3 magnitude quake 'rocked' the town of Badrallach, with residents of nearby Camusnagaul, Loggie and Ardressie also reporting feeling the shaking.
Reports from the affected areas and shared by the BGS stated that mirrors and walls were 'visibly' shaking.
One resident told the BGS that "the whole house shook".

The earthquake hit the west Highlands at around 09:00 on Sunday.
Nobody was hurt.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
