DESCRIPTION:

Meal Monday, also known as Oatmeal Monday, is a traditional Scottish holiday observed by the ancient universities of Scotland on the second Monday of February.

Originating in the 17th century, it emerged from the need for students, who lived in basic accommodation and were required to bring their fuel, to return home to replenish their supplies. Initially, these universities scheduled regular Meal Mondays, but by 1896, the University of Edinburgh established just one official holiday in February.

The tradition, once a regular event for students to fetch supplies, including oatmeal, has evolved and is no longer an official holiday at most universities. However, the University of St. Andrews still maintains it as a statutory holiday for manual staff​​.
