This time of year, the sun (the wha'??!!!) rises at 8am and it looks like this:
It sets at 4pm, and looks like this:
So yes, all ye who warned of the darkness and bad BAD Scottish weather, it is dark, often. And wet, and cold. Seriously cold. I rush from the heat of our house straight into the car, which needs a few minutes' worth of idling in order to warm up. This time is used to scrape the frost from the windscreen. At work I rush into the warm classroom, where I'll stay most of the day.
If it is a sunny day (ha-ha!), the air is crisp and stark with cold. If it's raining, there isn't much to see and the day is wrapped in a gloomy blanket.
Therefore, if my preference had been for hot, endless days filled to the brim with sunshine and salad, then no, this weather would suck.
Luckily I love stew and soup. And snuggling, lots of it, under a tartan blankie next to a cosy fire with a book.

c'mon, it was nice sunny today!
for 5 minutes.
I tried to look up and enjoy the nice sunny sky but the wind nearly blew me over, so I just hurried back before it started to rain again.
