Due to the wonders of axial tilt, during the Winter it barely gets light in Scotland, whereas during the summer it's still light enough to read outside at 10pm.

I just compared Edinburgh to London and discovered that dusk here is at 8:36, whereas it's 8:08 in London. 20 minutes more sun for me!

And we're 3 degrees West of the Greenwich Meridian which means that, at the same latitude, the sun would set 12 minutes later than for GMT.
