When do the clocks change? Popular UK landmark's time still wrong even after Daylight Saving Hours change

However, in the Scottish capital, a popular landmark is going to maintain its century long reputation of being set too fast.

Balmoral Hotel clock tower, which is located in the heart of Edinburgh, was set wrong when it was built some 122 years ago.

The tradition began after intervention by railway officials at Edinburgh Waverley Station.

The station, which is one of the busiest in Scotland, is located just below the clock tower.

In the era before mobile phones, the clock was well-used by passengers hoping to catch the right train.

Officials afforded late-comers an extra few minutes to give them more time to collect their tickets.

It also allowed them to reach their carriages and unload their luggage before the whistle blew.

As a result, Balmoral Hotel's clock tower has been set three minutes fast ever since.

A monument which will definitely change to the right time is Big Ben in London.

The Palace of Westminster Clockmakers have been tasked with the intricate operation to alter the Great Clock of Westminster inside Big Ben.

However, Britons will need to adjust clocks and watches to make sure they do not get their timings wrong going forward.

Britons have also been warned that they might have to work an extra hour without getting paid if they are working overnight.

According to Personnel Today: “Employers don’t necessarily have to pay employees for working an hour longer on a particular shift. The situation can differ for hourly paid and salaried employees.”

Personnel Today added: “For some workers, the position will even out when they gain an hour when the clocks go forward again.

“But this won’t always be the case – a worker who works an extra hour in October might not be working the night shift when the clocks go forward again in March.

“Nevertheless, in the interests of fairness, employers that require employees to work by the clock in October should do the same in March, when they will be able to go home after working an hour less.”
