An official list for England, Wales and Northern Ireland can be found here on the webpage on the DTI. An official list of bank holidays for Scotland can be found here on the webpage of the Scottish Executive. In Scotland, the holidays listed above are official bank holidays and may not be public holidays. Public holidays are set by local authorities and therefore vary from place to place, although Christmas, Boxing Day, New Year's Day and January 2nd (and May Day?) are observed throughout the country. And in fact, banks in Scotland actually observe the English bank holidays, so Scottish bank holidays which differ from the English ones are of little practical importance. UNITED STATES See also: Holidays Of The United States Unlike countries where holidays are required by law, there are no national holidays in the United States. However, the United States Congress has created Federal Holidays for employees of the United States Government and the District Of Columbia . Most states have declared state holidays to coincide with these federal holidays. In spite of numerous attempts, the United States has never established true national holidays. (However, most labor contracts provide for extra pay or other special consideration for those required to work on officially-recognized holidays.) On June 28 , 1968 , The United States Congress passed the Uniform Holidays Bill , which moved four holidays from their traditional dates to a specified Monday in order to create a convenient three-day weekend. The holidays included Washington 's Birthday (which essentially evolved into Presidents' Day ), Memorial Day , Columbus Day , and Veterans Day . The law took effect in 1971 at the federal level. After some initial confusion and unwillingness to comply at the state level, all fifty states adopted the measure within a few years. Veteran's Day was eventually changed back to its traditional date. For the holidays not observed on a specified Monday, when the date falls on a Saturday, it is observed the previous Friday, and when the date falls on a Sunday, it is observed the following Monday. The holidays, and the days on which they are normally celebrated, are:
