I was about to say that I think it just means 1st , 2nd and 3rd time (of calling the banns).

It's a daft difference.

In England the banns were published - three times before the marriage could take place.

In Scotland, they were proclaimed!  Sounds much more grand - and it was supposed to be done three times.  Hence they came to be known colloquially as proclamations.
