What is St Andrew's Day?
St Andrew's Day is a Scottish bank holiday with a nominal date of 30 November. When the date falls at the weekend, the calendar uses the substitute date published by GOV.UK.
The event is scoped to Scotland and does not appear as a bank holiday in the England and Wales or Northern Ireland divisions. Its observed date can therefore differ without affecting the other nations.
In 2025, 30 November is a Sunday and GOV.UK lists Monday 1 December as the substitute day. Years without a weekend conflict retain 30 November.
