Name applied at present to August 1, one of the four term days on which, according to Scottish law, contracts are dated, houses rented, etc. The name has two origins:
- it commemorates the Lamb Mass celebrated at the Cathedral of Saint Peter in Vinculis, York, August 1, to which the feudatories each brought a lamb;
- it refers to the custom of depositing a loaf made from the first harvest of wheat at the church, August 1,.
