That would mean sunrise in Inverness at 10 am in late December;
Kirkwall 10.10 am, and Stornoway 10.12 am.
And later still in Lerwick. So? We would lose some daylight in the morning
and gain exactly the same amount in the afternoon. Swings and roundabouts -
except that the extra daylight would coincide with more of the leisure time
of more people.

Of course the real problem is that we are all thirled to the clock, instead
of being able to organise our own lives to use the daylight and the dark as
it best suits us individually.

Maybe that will be one of the benefits of the information revolution/home
working/online commerce and so on!
