In Scotland, the use of the belt in schools was an everyday occurrence with many beltings being given in virtually every school every day. It was not unusual for individual pupils to be belted more than once in a school day Whether the lack of any requirement to record corporal punishments was a factor, or whether the Scots had a history of more harsh school punishments than the English is open to debate, but either way we can be certain that the Scottish tawse was in use far more frequently than was the English cane.
