Public Holidays are devolved in Scotland and the Scottish government is yet to announce whether it will follow Westminster's lead.

Nah, nobody cares about the wedding. This is to celebrate the good news of our random day off.

I now have 17 consecutive days off at a cost of 7 days of annual leave, this is pretty awesome.

WOOP!

Screw you! When one of your royal fellas gets married, you can take the day off. You get more bank holidays than we do, anyway

Meh, bank holidays don't exist here. I'll probably have an exam that day.

The Govt. aren't stupid - good popularity move making it a public hol!
