How the prayer times for Edinburgh are calculated
Edinburgh lies at 55.9521° N, 3.1965° W (Scotland, the UK). The default is Moonsighting Committee: the Moonsighting Committee method was designed for middle and high latitudes and adjusts Fajr and Isha by season, which suits British summers.
In summer the sun does not sink deep enough for the Fajr and Isha angles in Edinburgh – on 94 nights between 6 May and 7 August. The Moonsighting Committee method then uses its own seasonal values.
The Qibla direction from Edinburgh to Makkah is 119.5° (clockwise from north).
