2022 is flying by and with only a handful of Scotland bank holidays left to enjoy, it's time we made the most of them.
Every year, hard-working Scots get a handful of days off thanks to bank holidays.
Normally, we get to enjoy nine glorious days a year but in 2022 we have been treated to an extra date to mark the Queen's Platinum Jubilee.
But how long do we have to wait until the next one and how can we make the most of it?
UK Bank Holidays to look forward to in 2022
When is the next Bank Holiday in Scotland?
The next Scottish Bank Holiday is still a while away we're afraid.
Scots will need to wait until November 30 - the day used to celebrate our Patron Saint St Andrew.
Meanwhile, those in the rest of the UK will get to enjoy a summer bank holiday very soon on August 29 but then will need to wait until December for another.
We have already had our summer bank holiday earlier this month - August 1 - although that already feels like a distant memory now.
