                          About Public Holidays in United Kingdom

                          The United Kingdom's four nations don't share an identical calendar: Scotland observes St. Andrew's Day and its own New Year traditions (Hogmanay) with an extra January 2 holiday not taken in England, Wales, or Northern Ireland, while Northern Ireland alone marks St. Patrick's Day and the Battle of the Boyne (July 12) as public holidays. The August Bank Holiday even falls on different dates - the last Monday in England/Wales/Northern Ireland but the first Monday in Scotland.
