Scotland is located 534 km north of London, so Dhuhr in Scotland is called roughly 12 minutes later than in London. This difference comes from longitude: every degree of longitude shifts solar noon by about four minutes, which is why the timetable of the capital is not accurate in Scotland.
Finding the Qibla from Scotland
Qibla from Scotland: 119.5° (south-east). This is the angle between true north and the direction to the Kaaba, 5,212 km away. A well calibrated compass app is enough, and the mihrab of the nearest mosque in Scotland is the easiest reference.
