Scotland and Northern Ireland

The date above is for England and Wales. Scotland and Northern Ireland share most bank holidays but have some of their own, such as St Andrew’s Day in Scotland and St Patrick’s Day in Northern Ireland, and Scotland’s summer bank holiday falls at the start of August rather than the end.
