How prayer times in Glasgow change through the year
Prayer times in Glasgow vary a lot between the seasons. Around the summer solstice (21 June) Fajr is at around 2:36 AM and Maghrib at 10:06 PM, giving a day of 17 h 35 min. Around the winter solstice (21 December) Fajr moves to 6:24 AM and Maghrib to 3:44 PM, and the day lasts only 6 h 59 min. That is a difference of 10 h 36 min between the longest and the shortest day, which explains why the adhan moves noticeably from month to month.

Glasgow lies 555 km north-west of London, so Dhuhr in Glasgow comes about 17 minutes later than in London. The gap is due to longitude: every degree of longitude moves solar noon by about four minutes, and that is why the timetable of the capital is not accurate in Glasgow.
