FAQ

What time are sunrise and sunset in Kilchattan today?

In Kilchattan today, sunrise is at 04:43 with sunset at 22:03. These times move through the year in line with seasonal changes in solar elevation.

The times move through the year because Earth’s tilt changes solar elevation and the length of daylight as the seasons progress.
