"A Scottish airline has warned that a change to "double summertime" would affect its timetables for Orkney and the Western isles.

Glasgow-based Loganair's inter-island flights are done in daylight hours.

The UK government has been looking into the benefits of shifting clocks forward by an hour for all or part of the year."

"But support for the move, which would make mornings darker, may depend upon where people are.

In London, sunset would be at 2222 on 21 June, which is the longest day of the year. But in the winter solstice, on 21 December, it would not be fully light until sunrise at 0904.

For Thurso in the Highlands, the sun would not set until 2327 in mid-summer but it would not rise until 1003 in mid-winter."

Scotland could always operate its own time zone which would mean flights were still operating in daylight hours. People could simply adapt to a routine governed by daylight. We don't all need to work 9-5, do we, or go to school at the same time across the UK?
