In Scotland, there are 9 public holidays (or bank holidays) observed in 2024. Most full-time workers can expect paid leave on these days. The good thing is that five of these holidays fall on a Monday, which means you can enjoy many long weekends in 2024.

Easter in Scotland
In Scotland, Easter traditions in 2025 include Good Friday on April 18, when many Scots engage in quiet reflection and church services. Easter Sunday on April 20 is celebrated with family gatherings and festive meals, and on Easter Monday, April 21, communities partake in the playful tradition of rolling painted eggs down hills, symbolising the rolling away of the stone from Christ's tomb.

What’s a Rich Text element?
The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.
Static and dynamic content editing
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
How to customize formatting for each rich text
Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
