Computing the Kiblah

1. Determine your latitude and longitude.

Use an atlas, or one of the following:

• Google Earth

• Astrodienst Atlas

• Google Maps: Map your location, right-click the indicator, and click the displayed latitude and longitude to copy it to the clipboard.

2. Compute the Kiblah. 

Go to the following page:

• Azimuth Calculator

Enter your latitude and longitude in the boxes for “Starting point” in decimal form. 

For “Final point”, enter the decimal coordinates for Boleskine: Latitude: 57.2667, and Longitude: 4.4625, respectively. 

The answer will automatically calculate. Under “Azimuth,” you will see the distance point-to-point (in miles) and the azimuth from your location to Boleskine (in decimal degrees clockwise from North).
