I have seen an old tawse that belonged to my Grandfather (he was a school janitor) that was only about a foot or so long that had 6 tails.
The most I have heard of in recent times was 5 tails…perhaps Tawse Maker will be able to tell us more. I never even saw a 3 tail in school but have seen a few 3 tailed Lochgellys since.
