Shabbat Times in Scotland

For Friday 2026-10-09

Halachic note

Scotland follows the local custom of lighting candles 18 minutes before sunset. The Shabbat-end time shown uses tzeit hakochavim (8.5°). A 72-minute alternative is also shown for those who follow that opinion.

Scotland's main Jewish community is in Glasgow, with a smaller community in Edinburgh. Visitors should plan ahead for Shabbat, especially regarding kosher food and the very late candle-lighting times in summer.
