There are four witnessed falls in Scotland. The TKW of two of the four is 15 grams (yes…15 grams). Strathmore is the most recent of the Scottish falls and it occurred more than a century ago. A brilliant fireball entered the atmosphere east of Dunbar on December 3, 1917, where it exploded in the sky; four stones with a total weight of 13.4 kg were recovered. The mineral grains are compositionally uniform in the creamy matrix of this L6 chondrite accented with specks of metal and pinches of terrestrial tinting. Two edges feature patches of fusion crust. Nearly 10 kg of Strathmore is at the Royal Scottish Museum in Edinburgh where it is most likely to remain.
