Rahu Kaal, Abhijit Muhurat, Choghadiya and Hora are fractions of the local day, so they move with sunrise and sunset. Edinburgh sits at 55.95°N, 3.20°W, 66 m above sea level, in the Europe/London time zone.
Tithi and Nakshatra end at the same instant everywhere, but the local clock time differs, and the Tithi at Edinburgh's own sunrise decides which date a festival or vrat falls on here.
Krishna Trayodashi is the tithi at sunrise (08:27 AM) in Edinburgh and lasts until 08:53 PM. The tithi at sunrise names the day.
Vishakha (pada 1), until 10:18 AM, Dec 07.
Sunrise is at 08:27 AM and sunset at 03:40 PM, local time, for Edinburgh's own coordinates.
02:46 PM to 03:40 PM. Rahu Kaal is one-eighth of the daytime, so it moves with Edinburgh's sunrise and sunset.

People with Meena (Pisces) Moon sign, 05:33 PM, Dec 04 to 03:44 AM, Dec 07 and people with Mesha (Aries) Moon sign, 03:44 AM, Dec 07 to 03:31 PM, Dec 09: the Moon is in their 8th sign.
A Panchang is the Hindu almanac. For each day it gives five details (panch anga, "five parts"): Tithi (lunar day), Vara (weekday), Nakshatra (the Moon's lunar mansion), Yoga (a Sun–Moon combination) and Karana (half a Tithi), along with sunrise-based timings used to choose a Muhurat.
Rahu Kaal is one-eighth of the daytime (sunrise to sunset), assigned to Rahu by weekday. Traditionally people avoid starting new ventures, signing agreements or beginning journeys in it. Because it depends on local sunrise and sunset, it differs from city to city and day to day.
A Tithi is the time the Moon takes to gain 12° on the Sun, so it can end at any hour. By convention the Tithi prevailing at sunrise names the day, which is why a festival can fall on a different civil date in different places.
