Scotland bank holiday
St Andrew's Day 2026 is on Monday, 30 November 2026. It is a bank holiday in Scotland, not a UK-wide bank holiday for England, Wales, or Northern Ireland.
Because the date falls on a Monday in 2026, no substitute day is needed.
The 2026 date falls on the normal St Andrew's Day calendar date: 30 November. Since 30 November 2026 is a Monday, the calendar date and the bank holiday date align that year.
A substitute day is only needed when the bank holiday date has to move because of the calendar. For the 2026 observance, no move is needed because 30 November already falls on a weekday. That matters for users checking work rotas, school calendars, banking arrangements, or a personal calendar file, because they do not need to track a separate substitute date.
In the November 2026 month view, the Scotland bank holiday appears on the final Monday of the month. The calendar highlight is useful when you are comparing a normal month view with a Scotland-specific bank holiday list.
Date shown: Monday, 30 November 2026.
Calendar note: the highlighted date is the bank holiday date itself, not a moved substitute day.
Scope: use this placement for Scotland planning; do not treat the highlight as a UK-wide bank holiday marker.
Yes. It is a bank holiday in Scotland. That confirms the holiday's official Scotland status, but it does not automatically answer every local opening-hours question. Time off and service changes can still depend on the employer, school, council, bank branch, or provider.
For this UK page, bank holiday is the main wording because it matches the Scotland holiday status and the strongest SERP intent. Public holiday may appear in some general search results, but it is not the primary wording for this page. If you are comparing several UK calendars, use the region label as well as the holiday name, because a date that appears for Scotland may not appear in the same way for England, Wales, or Northern Ireland.
No. The date is not a UK-wide bank holiday. It applies in Scotland, but it is not a bank holiday in England, Wales, or Northern Ireland.
The holiday is listed for Scotland.
It is not an England bank holiday.
It is not a Wales bank holiday.
It is not a Northern Ireland bank holiday.
Scotland-only means the bank holiday status applies to Scotland rather than to every UK nation. If you are planning work, school, travel, or services outside Scotland, check the local holiday calendar for that part of the UK. This is especially important for users comparing a UK-wide calendar with a Scotland-specific list, because the same day can be visible in one regional calendar and absent from another.
Because the Monday date is a Scotland bank holiday, some Scottish bank branches, council services, libraries, offices, and local services may use bank holiday hours. Arrangements can vary by provider and location, so check the specific branch, council, or service before making plans. The date confirms the Scotland bank holiday, but individual counters, appointment lines, collections, and local offices may publish their own opening-hours notices.
School terms, workplace time off, and council services are not always handled in the same way across Scotland. If you need to know whether a school, workplace, appointment, collection, or local office is affected, use the local council, employer, school, or service provider as the final source. Local calendars give the most precise answer for opening hours, collection changes, and school-specific dates.
Use the single-date ICS file if you only need this Scotland bank holiday in your calendar app. The file adds Monday, 30 November 2026 as an all-day event.
The ICS file can be imported into Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, Outlook, and other calendar apps that support standard calendar files. It is not a full UK bank holiday calendar and does not include local events, school terms, or provider-specific opening hours. If you need every UK bank holiday for 2026, use the full UK calendar link instead. If you only want this one Scotland date, the download button keeps your calendar cleaner.
