Narrative:
On vector and descent to runway 23 ILS approach, cleared from FL80 to 5000 ft with transition altitude of 6000 ft. Failed to reset altimeter to local qnh of 982 millibars/29.00. Glascow approach asked to verify altitude of 4500 ft. Realized at that point that altimeter was not reset from qne to qnh. Was subsequently cleared to a lower altitude. Was informed that no loss of separation or terrain conflicts occurred. Contributing factors: transition altimeter was not announced by controller ATIS or other crew members when cleared, air traffic services using other than published/charted transition altitudes, very low barometric pressure, poor WX with moderate turbulence/rain/windshear and being busy with approach duties.

Title: B767 FLC MISS QNE TO QNH TRANSITION ALTIMETER SETTING AND OVERSHOOT ASSIGNED ALT WHILE UNDER EGPF CTL.
Narrative: ON VECTOR AND DSCNT TO RWY 23 ILS APCH, CLRED FROM FL80 TO 5000 FT WITH TRANSITION ALT OF 6000 FT. FAILED TO RESET ALTIMETER TO LCL QNH OF 982 MILLIBARS/29.00. GLASCOW APCH ASKED TO VERIFY ALT OF 4500 FT. REALIZED AT THAT POINT THAT ALTIMETER WAS NOT RESET FROM QNE TO QNH. WAS SUBSEQUENTLY CLRED TO A LOWER ALT. WAS INFORMED THAT NO LOSS OF SEPARATION OR TERRAIN CONFLICTS OCCURRED. CONTRIBUTING FACTORS: TRANSITION ALTIMETER WAS NOT ANNOUNCED BY CTLR ATIS OR OTHER CREW MEMBERS WHEN CLRED, AIR TFC SVCS USING OTHER THAN PUBLISHED/CHARTED TRANSITION ALTS, VERY LOW BAROMETRIC PRESSURE, POOR WX WITH MODERATE TURB/RAIN/WINDSHEAR AND BEING BUSY WITH APCH DUTIES.
