Time Zones

Scotland like the rest of the UK follows Greenwich Mean Time (GMT)

In the Spring the clock is moved forward one hour for British Summer Time (BST) and in Autumn moved back again to GMT.

In mid Summer the hours of daylight in Scotland are approx between 3am to 11:30 pm.

In Mid Winter the hours of daylight are approx between 9am to 4pm.

There is as much as 30 minutes difference between dusk and dawn times from the south of Scotland and the north, the north being more lighter than the south.
