I have another Scottish cousin who went to the rather austere Dumbarton Academy, and she was certainly given the tawse , quite a few times.I used to spend alot of time with her in the school holidays and even had a half day at the academy, but I didn’t see anyone getting the tawse. She used to talk a great deal about the tawse, and she didn’t mind the odd slap on the bottom. I haven’t seen her for about 10 years, but when I did she jumped on my knee! A very lovely girl.
