Does it get completely dark - as in pitch black - near the summer solstice in central Scotland?

In June the northern hemisphere is tilted towards the sun. As you go further north it is very bright. At the north pole, it is facing the sun all of the time in June as the earth rotates. Scotland is further south, so from there the sun does set, but it does not go very far below the horizon, so there is always some brightness there, particularly if you look towards the northern horizon. The brightness is like anywhere in the world in the period just before sunrise or just after sunset. The sun is below the horizon, but not far enough for it to be completely dark. In June in Scotland, throughout the night it is not far below the horizon and then it rises again. Because it is never far below the horizon then it is not going to be completely dark.

No, it does not get completely dark near the summer solstice in central Scotland. During this time of the year, there is a phenomenon called "white nights" where the sky remains relatively light throughout the night, but it doesn't get completely pitch black.
