No. Only Good Friday and Easter Monday are bank holidays, and Easter Monday is not a bank holiday in Scotland.
How can I make the most of Easter?
In England and Wales, booking the four working days after Easter Monday (or the four before Good Friday) turns 4 days of leave into 10 days off. Try the annual leave planner.
