That's about what I thought. I assume Cornwall has even less.

That surprises me a little about Scotland, but I'm in no position to know.
You are now. :-) The powers of the Scottish Parliament are defined by the Scotland Act 1998. The basic principle is that it can legislate for anything that isn't a "reserved matter" (section 29). Schedule 5 of the Act sets out these reserved matters. They include "Timescales, time zones and the subject-matter of the Summer Time Act 1972."
