British Summer TimeEurope/LondonObserves DST
Edinburgh learned its work clock from trade, government, and whoever paid for the first telegraph. Today that clock is Europe/London, UTC+0 in January. Festival weeks wreck calendars. On ordinary Tuesdays, 09:00–17:00 and dark by 16:00 in December. The polite window around the New Town offices is 09:00–17:00 local. Treat overtime glow as scenery, not consent. Edinburgh still shifts with daylight saving (UTC+0 in January, UTC+1 in July). Winter daylight collapses early, so an afternoon ping can already feel like night.
