It's officially Good Friday, which means that the Easter celebrations have officially kicked off.
It also means that many families across the country will be looking to spend some quality time together during the four-day weekend.
And, if the weather is good, many might want to spend some time outdoors in the garden for any Easter egg hunts, barbecues, or possibly just to enjoy the nice weather.
But, before you go heading out, it's worth noting that many major retailers across the country will now be operating at different times compared to usual.
Unlike England, retailers across Scotland will still be open on Easter Sunday, but you will find that they have reduced their operating hours, particularly on Sunday, April 17
