i lived in scotland for 2 years.
so far north that the sunset was around 1130 PM and sunrise around 2am in the summer.... conversely,,, was very dark this time of year

It was one of the most beautiful places on earth, all 2 weeks of summer were warm and sunny, rest of the year it pissed rain and wind all day every day. Our Navy Seals had a foul weather training camp there.
