Whilst in England the requirement to maintain a Punishment Book in schools was almost universal, no such requirement existed in Scotland. I do question how accurate the English Punishment Books really are as I am aware of a number of canings that never were recorded in punishment books and, if the figure were to be extrapolated across all of England, and over a number of decades, we would end up with many hundreds, if not thousands, of unrecorded punishments with the cane.
