When will my child return to school after the Scottish summer holidays?

With children across Scotland now away from the classrooms and enjoying the summer holidays, some parents might be wondering when they will return.

Every year, children throughout the country receive six weeks off during the summer months but the date this happens varies drastically between councils.

With 32 council areas in Scotland, it can be hard finding the right information for your area.

This is why we have brought together a list of school closures and return dates for the summer holidays.
