| | Re: UK Holiday List Hi Arsha,
UK has relatively few public holidays. They are usually described as Bank Holidays because they are days when banks are officially closed.
Hope the attached list for 2007, 2008 & 2009 helps. Please note that for Scotland, there're following differences:
1) Easter Monday is not a bank holiday although is observed by many.
2) Summer Bank Holiday is FIRST Monday in August, instead of last Monday as in England & Wales and falls on 6th, 4th & 3rd Aug for 2007, 2008 & 2009 respectively.
3) In January 2007, the St Andrew's Day Bank Holiday (Scotland) Act was given royal assent, making 30 November (or the nearest Monday if a weekend) a bank holiday in Scotland. |
