It is actually short for the Latin eodem die = "the same day". Eo die would mean "that day".

Hi on an OPR Baptism, in Culsalmond, the first thing written just before the parents names are the letters ED does anyone know what this means please?

Short for Eodem Die, which is the Latin for 'on the same day'.

Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.
