Tomorrow is officially the Coronation of King Charles III in what will be a historic moment for the country.
To mark the occasion, the UK Government officially granted people an extra-long weekend, with Monday, May 8 being declared a bank holiday. Naturally, that means that many of us might be wondering if our local shops are open.
Similar to many major supermarkets, the opening hours for some of our favourite stores across the high-street can be affected. It usually varies from store to store, but some might take the opportunity to close their doors a bit earlier than usual.
While the majority of stores across Scotland look set to be open as normal during the long weekend, it looks like a few may be closing a little earlier on the bank holiday Monday itself.
To make sure you don't get caught out, here are all the retailers that have confirmed their opening hours this weekend.
Primark
The budget fast fashion chain has confirmed that its stores will be operating at normal hours during the weekend. Store opening hours vary depending on location, but the majority will be open from 8am-6pm on Saturday and 10am-6pm on Sunday.
However, stores will be operating at reduced hours on the bank holiday Monday.
