What are these called where you are?
From Fife so these are rolls. Roll on sausage, roll on bacon etc. Heard them called different things in different parts of UK.

Not from the UK, but that’s a roll. If it were larger, it would be a bun, but that is most definitely a roll.
How big is a "bun" to you then? What's the cutoff?
While not claiming to be any authority on the bread sciences, I’d say that a roll is roughly the size of just the palm, while a bun is closer to the size of the full hand.
A bun also passes the Burger Test: Could you easily fit a burger on this bread? If yes, it’s a bun; if no, it’s a roll.
*makes notes*
See I don’t know if it’s a size thing. I think it has to do with accessorizing. If you put a filling in it, or iced it, it’s a bun. But plain it’s just a roll.
