An obsolete Scottish dialect expression for yesterday. Like the English day before yesterday or old uses of yestreen (last evening), last day was used in Scots to mean the preceding day. Now entirely archaic even in Scottish dialect.

He said he had seen her last day but she had not come round since.
Origin: Scots dialect use of last (previous) plus day; compare Dutch gisteren and similar Germanic formations. Editorial expansion authored on Slangora (model-assisted, hedged).
