As I understand it the new channel launches on the 24th and the last day of BBC 2 Scotland is the 19th

Last day of BBC Two Scotland will be Sunday the 17th.... (apologies for wrong date in earlier post) switchover takes 4 days and the rest of the time will be spent on technical rehearsals.
One thing that I don't think has been mentioned yet, which I hadn't realised until I saw this page, is that the new channel:
Between noon and 7pm, the channel will show BBC Two programmes alongside some political coverage (such as Scottish First Minister’s Questions and Politics Scotland) and sporting & music events.
So in the afternoon it's as BBC Two Scotland is now, I wondered what was going to happen to the Scottish stuff that's on in the afternoons

Still, it's a bit odd that they'll be stimulating BBC Two rather than closing down/showing "This is BBC Scotland" instead, especially given how close the two channels will be on the EPG.

Yes although if they did that, it would pop on air for an hour for the political programme and then close down again. This way it gives it a full regular schedule of content all afternoon.
There was a time when TV stations would do that - BBC 2 used to have nothing on for 12 hours a day except 20 minutes of Play School at 10am. Its not something the audience is used to these days
