Young Scots get into saving habit

Most children who receive pocket money save at least a quarter of it, according to a report.

The average weekly amount given to children aged 8-15 in Scotland has fallen in the past year by 57p to £6.32, but 62% save at least £1.58.

The UK weekly average is £5.98, 34p lower, with 67% saving a quarter of their money, according to the Bank of Scotland report.
