There are slight differences in Bank Holiday dates in Scotland. In 2007, Royal Assent was given to 'The St Andrew's Day Bank Holiday (Scotland) Act'. This made 30th November (or the following Monday if it falls at a weekend) a Bank Holiday in Scotland. So additional Bank Holidays in Scotland are 2nd January and St Andrews Day (around 30th November). Easter Monday is NOT an official Bank Holiday in Scotland but it is often observed by Scottish banks and retailers.
Historically, there are three types of Public Holiday in the UK, these are holidays by Royal Proclamation, common law holidays and Bank Holidays. However, most people now refer to them all as Bank Holidays.
