How are prayer times calculated for Glasgow?
Glasgow lies at a latitude of about 55.86°N, in Scotland. Because prayer times depend on the position of the sun at a given location, the timings here are calculated specifically for these coordinates rather than borrowed from another town.
Today the sun rises at 08:02 and Maghrib falls at 17:59, giving 9h 57m between the two. As the year turns this daylight window lengthens and shortens, which is why Fajr (currently 06:01) and Isha (currently 19:56) shift gradually from week to week.
When praying in Glasgow, the Qibla is faced towards the Kaaba in Makkah, which lies on a bearing of 118° from here, roughly to the south-east — a great-circle distance of about 5,264 km.
Prayer times in Glasgow are very close to those in neighbouring towns, though they differ by a minute or two with distance. Nearby you can also check Edinburgh (67 km), Dundee (103 km) and Carlisle (136 km).
