Scotland Public Holidays 2027

Complete list of public holidays — nationwide & regional

2025 2026 2027
In 2027, Scotland marks 9 public holidays that apply across the whole country. Helpfully for 2027, every one of them falls on a weekday, so each delivers a genuine day off work. There is 1 clear "bridge day" opportunity this year — where a public holiday falls on a Tuesday or Thursday, so taking the single adjoining day off turns it into a four-day weekend. The calendar opens with New Year's Day on Friday 1 January and closes with Boxing Day (substitute) on Tuesday 28 December.
