Best overlap: 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM in Taipei is 8:00 AM to 10:00 AM in Edinburgh.
4:00 PM to 6:00 PM in Taipei is when Edinburgh is also working, at 8:00 AM to 10:00 AM their time. Because Edinburgh is 8 hours behind Taipei, the shared window is only about 2 hours. A fixed slot at 4:00 PM in Taipei (8:00 AM in Edinburgh) saves a lot of back-and-forth. Heads up: because Edinburgh changes its clocks and Taipei doesn't, the difference moves by an hour twice a year. Confirm the overlap around the DST switch.
