Easter Monday in Scotland Question

[The Baron]

My desk calendar reads as follows: "Easter Monday (Australia, Canada, Ireland, NZ, UK - except Scotland)"

 

So, what's up with the Scots that they don't take Easter Monday off?

From Wiki:

 

Bank holidays do not, however, assume the same importance in Scotland as they do elsewhere. Whereas they have effectively become public holidays elsewhere in the United Kingdom, in Scotland there remains a tradition of public holidays based on local tradition and determined by local authorities (for example, the Glasgow Fair and the Dundee Fortnight). In 1996, Scottish banks made the business decision to harmonise their own holidays with the rest of the United Kingdom, with the result that 'bank holidays' in Scotland are neither public holidays nor the days on which banks are closed.

Cool, thanks!
