Bank Holiday Breaks
Is there a new bank holiday in Scotland?
Scotland is set to receive an extra bank holiday in 2026, a special arrangement to mark the fact that, for the first time in 28 years, the national men's football team will play in the World Cup. Taking place on Monday 15th June, there's now an extra long weekend to soak up and enjoy. If you're looking to book a getaway and still watch the match, our holiday parks in Scotland might be just the ticket.
Scottish School September Weekend
While not a national bank holiday, the September weekend is a fantastic opportunity to escape to nature, spend quality time together and make long-lasting memories for the whole family.
The holiday varies by local council, but we've put together a guide for when schools are closed. Exact dates may differ between schools, so always be sure to double check.
