For my prepared question I just sort of stated my opinion and the interviewer urged it on a bit further so probably 3-5 minutes but I wouldn't worry about time because once you say all you have to say they might build on your answer by asking why you think a certain thing or asking where you got inspiration for your answer etc. In total it will last roughly between 3-5 minutes but don't worry about actually talking for that long Good luck!

No. For me it was a one on one interview where they just ask you a series of questions.

Edinburgh was a group interview for me where they allowed us to ask each other questions and it became very conversational. Good luck!
