Default Winter Solstice
Today is the shortest day of the year. Daylight will then return!

Happy to confirm that Scotland does in fact have daylight, even during deepest, darkest Winter!

The 21st December is the shortest day of the year usually.


Edit: Oh wait, I just seen that it can shift between 21st - 23rd December. I never knew that.

But it means the days will be getting lighter again!

Roll on summer!

I don't mind the first part in the run up to Christmas and New Year but I hate it from mid-Jan until end of February when its still dark and cold. Depresses the life out of me
