St. Andrew's Day Holiday

An addendum to the Astronomical & Calendarial Sheets for 2007 to 2012 inclusive is available regarding the introduction of the St. Andrew's Day Holiday by the Scottish Executive in order to promote a national celebration of Scottish identity. The St. Andrew's Day Bank Holiday (Scotland) Act 2007 inserts an extra paragraph into the Banking and Financial Dealings Act (1971)(c.80) for St. Andrew's Day (November 30th). It does not automatically create an additional day off work or school.

Full details may be found at the Scottish Executive web site or by contacting the Scottish Executive directly (tel. 0131 244 5217).
