I know it is a Scottish word but I'm not sure what it refers to.

there isn't any light quite like the Scottish dusk in the summer.

Song made famous by Scottish music hall star, Sir Harry Lauder.
[edit]
Roamin' in the Gloamin'
I've seen lots of bonnie lassies travellin' far and wide,
But my heart is centred noo on bonnie Kate McBride;
And altho' I'm no a chap that throws a word away,
I'm surprised mysel' at times at a' I've got to say
Chorus:
Roamin' in the gloamin' on the bonnie banks o' Clyde,
Roamin' in the gloamin' wi' ma lassie by ma side,
When the sun has gone to rest, that's the time that I like best,
O, it's lovely roamin' in the gloamin'!
One nicht in the gloamin' we were trippin' side by side.
I kissed her twice, and asked her once if she would be my bride;
She was shy, and so was I, we were baith the same,
But I got brave and braver on the journey comin' hame.
Chorus:
Last nicht efter strollin' we got hame at half-past nine.
Sittin' at the kitchen fire I asked her to be mine.
When she promised I got up and danced the Hielan' Fling;
I've just been to the jewellers and I've picked a nice wee ring.
Chorus:

Twilight is the gloaming, particularly the light evenings after sunset during the summer.

It is the twilight, neither day nor night but that in-between time.
Sun has gone down over the horizon but it is not yet dark.
Lovely time of day.

It's the beautiful time at the end of a day when it's not quite dark yet

It's the Scot term for the twilight hour.

maybe they couldn't be bothered to say Global Warming in two words, and so shortened it to Gloamin?

The word is "gloaming," (don't forget the last "g"); and it means "Sunset."
