January 29th 1848 saw the first adoption of GMT by Scotland. The subject has been the source of controversy ever since.

The change had broadly taken place south of the Border from September the previous year with those in Edinburgh living 12 and-a-half minutes behind the new standard time as a result.

Some people in those days were still using sundials to tell the time, Scottish inventor Alexander Bain had only given the world the first electric clock 7 years previously. Sundials were criticised for being poorly made and set by "incompetents" among those who supported the move to GMT in the 1840s. 

The discrepancy grew the further west you moved, with the time in Glasgow some 17 minutes behind GMT. In Ayr the time difference was 18-and-a-half minutes with it rising to 19 minutes in the harbour town of Greenock.

All these lapses were ironed out over night on January 29 1848, but the move wasn’t without controversy as some resisted the move away from local time.

Sometimes referred to as natural time, it had long been determined by sun dials and observatories and later by charts and tables which outlined the differences between GMT and local time at various locations across the country.

But the need for a standard time measurement was broadly agreed upon given the surge in the number of rail services and passengers with different local times causing confusion, missed trains and even accidents as trains battled for clearance on single tracks.

An editorial in The Scotsman on Saturday, January 28, 1848, said: “It is a mistake to think that in the country generally the change will be felt as a grievance in any degree.

“Probably nine-tenths of those who have clocks and watches believe that their local time is the same with Greenwich time, and will be greatly surprise to learn that the two are not identical.

“Even if they wished to keep local time, they want the means.

“Observatories are only found in two or three of our Scottish towns.

“As for the sundials in use, their number is small, most of them, too, are made by incompetent persons and even when correctly constructed, the task of putting them up and adjusting them to the meridian is generally left to an ignorant mason, who perhaps takes the mid-day hour from the watch in his fob.”

The editorial added: “For the sake of convenience, we sacrifice a few minutes and keep this artificial time in preference to sundial time, which some call natural time, and if the same convenience counsels us to sacrifice a few minutes in order to keep one uniform time over the whole country, why should it not be done!”

Mariners had long observed Greenwich Mean Time and kept at least one chronometer set to calculate their longitude from the Greenwich meridian, which was considered to have a longitude of zero degrees.

The move to enforce it as the common time measurement was made by the Railway Clearing House in September 1847.

Some rail companies had printed GMT timetables much sooner. The Great Western Railway deployed the standard time in 1840 given that passengers on its service between London to Bristol, then the biggest trading port with the United States, faced a time difference of 22 minutes between its departure and arrival point.

Rory McEvoy, curator of horology at the Royal Observatory Greenwich, said travel watches of the day had two sets of hands, one gold and one blue steel, to help measure changes in local time during a journey.

Maps also depicted towns with had adopted GMT and those which had not, he added.

 There was information out there for determine the local time difference so they would know the offset to apply to GMT before the telegraphic distribution of time.

Mr McEvoy said different towns and cities in Scotland would have had their own time differences before adoption of GMT.

Old local time measurements show that Edinburgh was four-and-a-half minutes ahead of that in Glasgow, for example.

Mr McEvoy added: “I think it is fair to say there was no real concept of these differences at the time. It was when communication began to expand quite rapidly that it became f an issue. I think generally, you would be quite happy that the time of day was your local time.”

I love your writing!! Just wondering when kinktober day 31st is coming out, no rush tho I am just really excited

Also out of curiosity how many asks do you have in your inbox right now and whats your time zone

i made the mistake of caring too much about kinktober day 31 being good, so now writing it is going slower because i want it to be perfect. it’s consort all over again 🙄

we are like inches away from the smut though, and that should be way easier to write.

but oh my god. the inbox asks.

uh

well, i’m really bad at replying to asks. bc people are wonderful and lovely and idk how to take compliments, or their asks were time-sensitive and it feels too late to answer (e.g. about the latest SKZ/Ateez/Twice comebacks).

i read every single one that comes through, as they come through, bc i check the tumblr app multiple times a day. i love you all, i promise i read every single one and have cried more than once.

but the actual inbox is scarily large and it takes a lot of brain energy to actually confront and go through. and there’s a fair few that date back to my pre-kpop days, since i’ve had this blog since 2012.

but um, in short:

#hey there anon 👋 #also time-zone is gmt babyyy #if you couldn’t tell by my general…*vaguely gestures to brit-speak*

[insanusnavicularis]

I forgot about time zones and that most of my mutuals would be asleep when I posted the commissions post, so I'll probably make (a) new one(s) and/or schedule (a) reblog(s) of that one at different times. I'll tag all posts about it from here on out with "hal art commissions" so you can block that if you don't want to see them. I don't intend to spam, just like, occasional ones.

#hal rambles #blog meta #art commissions #hal art commissions #usually i don't have to worry about it because I'm on eastern time #but currently i'm in ankara #so my time zone is GMT+3 #'but Hal why are in Ankara?' #i'm living with my partner for a month #she lives here
