These include Boxing Day, which has been an additional bank holiday in Scotland since 1974 and the last Monday in May which has been a bank holiday since 1978 . </P> <P> Section 1 of the 1971 Act also enables the Queen to appoint substitute bank holidays in any one year by Royal Proclamation . Substitute days are customarily appointed for all UK bank holidays which fall on a Saturday or Sunday . Where any of the dates fall on a Sunday, the Act substitutes the following Monday for that date .
