Black Saturday was a particularly dark, stormy Saturday in Scotland, on 4 August 1621. Many regarded the foul weather as a judgment of Heaven against the Five Articles of Perth then passed [1] in the Scots Parliament tending to establish Episcopacy. [2]
Many suicides were recorded on this day, as some saw the foul weather as a preparatory for Armageddon. [3]
