Not, being from Scotland, I wouldn't know, BUTT while searching "Taily Day"
I came across that same exact text on six different web sites, none
attributed to an author. It seems it's very easy to promulgate fiction as
truth on the web.
If "Taily Day" is a complete fiction, this "History of Aril Fool's Day" text
on the web has spawned this little tidbit at

Al Buttt's Taily Day Live!
Thursday, March 26, 1998
Al Buttt will be performing live in Glasgow, Scotland for his Taily Day Live
concert on April 2. Several large paper mache' buttocks have been procured
for the event. Few people are familiar with Scotland's traditional "day of
the butt" which follows April Fool's day. "We're hoping to continue the
internationalization of the Chain. What better place?" said Al in a press
conference. Al will be playing a set of Buttocks.
