How are prayer times calculated for Aberdeen?
Sitting at roughly 57.15°N in Scotland, Aberdeen has its own sunrise and sunset each day, so its prayer times are worked out from its exact position rather than a regional average.
Today the sun rises at 07:59 and Maghrib falls at 17:45, giving 9h 46m between the two. As the year turns this daylight window lengthens and shortens, which is why Fajr (currently 05:57) and Isha (currently 19:46) shift gradually from week to week.
When praying in Aberdeen, the Qibla is faced towards the Kaaba in Makkah, which lies on a bearing of 122° from here, roughly to the south-east — a great-circle distance of about 5,221 km.
Prayer times in Aberdeen are very close to those in neighbouring towns, though they differ by a minute or two with distance. Nearby you can also check Dundee (93 km), Edinburgh (149 km) and Glasgow (195 km).
