Why one hour? The standard CS time is now 30 minutes which is supposed to apply to all chess in Scotland unless stated otherwise in the rules of the competition. FIDE Law 6.6a states that the default time is 0 minutes unless otherwise specified which is why CS has introdued the general 30 min rule to avoid this "zero tolerance" situation.
