The data showed 34 earthquakes happened near Loch Lyon between October and December.
Dr Brian Baptie, a seismologist at BGS, said it was not surprising the region was the UK’s earthquake capital, due to its position on the Highland Boundary Fault – which stretches from Helensburgh, Argyll and Bute, to Stonehaven, Aberdeenshire.
He said: “The west of Scotland is one of the more active parts of the UK.
“Some of this activity can be attributed to well-known geological faults like the Great Glen Fault and the Highland Boundary Fault.
“It is a reminder that small earthquakes happen all the time and it remains of critical importance that they are studied to help us understand the possible impact of the rare large earthquakes on major energy and infrastructure projects around the country.”
