Yes, Cashy.....it was to help the agricultural workers to make the most of the daylight hours. I have a feeling they talked about abolishing it sometime in the seventies........but the folks in the very north of Scotland, the farmers and the building workers kicked up a fuss...so we are still saddled with the blooming practice.
