| Comment | In Scotland there are a handful of public holidays which date from a more industrial era, which are traditionally staggered by location - this has the very sensible effect of meaning that the entire country isn't trying to go away at the same time. The Autumn bank holiday is, in Glasgow, this coming Monday.
However, the number of businesses and employers that actually recognise these local bank holidays is fairly small and gets ever smaller- generally speaking if your employer is not Glasgow-based, you won't specifically have the day off, and many businesses that operate across the UK only recognise UK-wide holidays.
The one that is more widely recognised is the Glasgow Fair 4-day weekend in July. |
