Full list of Scots Santander branches closing in summer as 95 UK stores to shut
The major bank has revealed the list of its branches set to close this year- including 10 Scottish branches to close in June and July.
With the rise of mobile and online banking, the British high street has seen an influx of bank branch closures over the past few years. From Bank of Scotland to Halifax closing their doors, it seems like it won't be long before our money is managed predominantly on the internet instead of in a physical shop.
And Santander is hopping on the bank closure bandwagon, shutting a whopping 95 UK branches this year. And Scots can expect to see 10 Santander branches close their doors over June and July.
As of May 30, the bank has disclosed that it will shut branches all over the nation, and while the majority of closures will occur in June and July, there are still a number of branches without confirmed closure dates, reported the Express.
The earliest closure date is June 16, and it will see Clacton, Croydon, Gateshead, Launceston, and Peterhead all lose their Santander branch.
The first store to close in Scotland will be Santander's Arbroath branch, which is due to shut its doors a day later on June 17.
Scotland's last branch to close this year will be Wishaw, on July 22, although Santander's Turriff branch is the only Scottish store yet to be given a confirmed closing date.
The Surrey Quays branch will be the last store in the UK to close, scheduled for November 10.

662-acre Scottish island with ferry and Highland cattle hits market for £2 million
Inchmarnock, located just off the west coast of the Isle of Bute in the Firth of Clyde, is being marketed as a 662-acre estate, including a working farm, historic buildings, and extensive coastal access. Property manager Strutt and Parker has said the island offers a rare opportunity to acquire a large tract of land with farming infrastructure, development potential and significant natural heritage. READ MORE: Historic Scottish castle with 800-year history goes on sale The island lies just five miles from Rothesay, 37 miles from Glasgow Airport and 46 miles from Glasgow. It is said when there, there are views to the southern Cowal Peninsula, Knapdale and the northern part of the Kintyre Peninsula, Goatfell and the mountains of Arran, and, on aclear day, the coast of Ayrshire. The listing includes The Port House, a four-bedroom home in Bute with views over to Inchmarnock and beyond to the Kintyre Peninsula. The estate also includes a private harbour, slipway, and a purpose-built ferry – The Marnock – designed to transport vehicles and livestock to and from the island. Scattered across Inchmarnock are several traditional stone farmhouses and redundant steadings which are currently uninhabited but described as having potential for residential or tourism-related redevelopment, subject to planning permission. A particular feature of Inchmarnock is its many metres of drystone dykes which date from the 18th century. Unusually high in places to provide protection from the prevailing wind, the previous owner undertook an extensive programme of repair and maintenance of these dykes and they are impressive. There is also an operational agricultural shed with cattle handling facilities, and the farm supports a fold of pedigree Highland cattle. The land comprises around 168 acres of pasture, 366 acres of rough grazing, and large areas of native woodland.

Its waters offer opportunities for sea fishing, kayaking, lobster potting, and other marine activities. Inchmarnock is home to significant wildlife, including native plant species and a resident grey seal colony. The entire estate is being offered for sale as a single lot. The island is being marketed as a unique mix of 'history, heritage, and opportunity' – with strong appeal to private buyers interested in rural estates, sustainable development or leisure ventures. The buyer will also have the option to acquire a range of boats, farm machinery, and household contents.

Greece panic as tourists abandon one of its 'most popular' islands
For the first time since the Covid-19 pandemic, Santorini is experiencing a decline in tourists. For the first time since the Covid-19 pandemic, Santorini is witnessing a drop in tourists. Unlike previous years, visitors to one of Greece's most popular islands are not finding themselves amidst dense crowds, but instead Fira's main street is largely deserted. Earlier this year, earthquake activity on Santorini has put off many international visitors from choosing it as their holiday destination. While arrivals have been on the rise in recent weeks, the numbers are significantly lower than the peaks seen in past years. According to Yannis Paraschis, president of the Association of Greek Tourism Enterprises (SETE), "available airline seats are down 26% from the beginning of the year to date. But the indications we have in terms of supply of seats are down in the range of 7%-8% for the summer, so we expect a result with losses of 10%-15%". Antonis Pagoni, the president of the Santorini hoteliers, told Euronews he anticipates a continued decline in tourist traffic and warned that the effects will ripple through the entire Greek economy, reports the Express. "The president of SETE talked about airport arrivals," he added, "but I will unfortunately say that overall arrivals will be down about 20%-25%. Right now we are moving at -25% to -30%. It's a huge reduction in a destination like Santorini that attracts more than 3 million visitors. You know, it's 10% of Greek tourism. We are not sure if Greece can afford to lose that revenue." Currently, hotels are slashing room prices to entice last-minute holidaymakers. The global cost-of-living crisis is also leaving its mark on Santorini. This season, tourists are tightening their belts, resulting in fewer hotel reservations and a downturn for local enterprises dependent on tourism, as visitors cut back on expenditure for dining and keepsakes. Nonetheless, the allure of Santorini remains undiminished, with three cruise liners docking daily, each delivering thousands keen to discover the island's marvels. The impending cruise tax, set to be implemented from July, is not anticipated to deter this year's influx of cruise visitors. In the midst of these developments, Santorini's mayor, Nikos Zorzos, has underscored the urgency for a "saturation law" on the island, contending that there is no need for additional lodgings. "Santorini does not need any more beds. I say this with great certainty, with as much certainty as I know that my name is Nikos," he declared. He is advocating for governmental support to enhance public infrastructure, highlighting that Santorini has made substantial contributions to the national treasury without seeing proportional benefits in return. British tourists travelling to Greece this summer have been warned of the penalties for drug smuggling after the Foreign Office updated its travel guidance for the popular holiday hotspot. Greek travellers are being made aware of improved scanning technology which is now being used at several airports across the country ahead of the holiday season.

Bid to save eroded path on An Teallach reaches £250k target
The project is entering its final year and the groups are keen for others to help raise a final £50,000 to ensure the work on the site can be completed. They are hoping to restore 3.2 kilometres of eroded path on An Teallach in the Highlands, with a team of specialists at Cairngorm Wildernesss Contracts already completing 890 metres of new mountain path, including 237m of stone pitching, 503m of aggregate path and 150m of 'light touch' work through bedrock to define a clear line and allow nature to reclaim eroded areas. Walking tourism contributes an estimated £1.6 billion annually to the Scottish economy, and delivers clear physical and mental health benefits, but there is no government funding for essential path repairs on privately owned land outside national parks and NGO estates. Read More Previously, EU funding was available but that was lost following Brexit and it is yet to be replaced. More than 350 tonnes of stone and other material from the area around the site has been sourced by the contractors, with six tonnes of spoil repositioned to aid landscape restoration. Work has also been done to ensure future path erosion is kept to a minimum. CEO of the Outdoor Access Trust Scotland CEO, Dougie Baird, said: "We are now in the final year of fundraising and delivery, and the target is close, but we really need everyone to put their shoulders to the wheel in the final push to get it over the line. 'Our team of path contractors at Cairngorm Wilderness Contracts are itching to get back to An Teallach to finish the year three path work, and the whole project. However, we must hit the fundraising target before that can happen.' Mountaineering Scotland CEO, Stuart Younie, added: 'We are delighted to have hit the £250,000 mark in the first two years of the campaign and are well on our way to reaching our target. However, there is still a lot more to do to deliver our ambition of establishing a sustainable funding model to support the maintenance and upkeep of our mountain paths. "An Teallach is just one of many mountains in Scotland that needs path work and long-term maintenance, and it's up to all of us that enjoy the hills to do something about it.'
