You are refering to a rural area where the use of the belt was usually less frequent, although it certainly was still used. It remains on record that, at a school a little north of where you were, over one hundred pupils were strapped one afternoon after being found out of the school grounds after the lunch break. The offenders were rounded up, formed into lines and a team of teachers arrived, belts in their hands, to belt the lot of them. It was in the towns, particularly the industrial ones, that the belt was most often used. You could walk into virtually any Scottish secondary school in the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s and hear the crack of leather being applied as you walked the corridors. I hope you thanked your parents for arranging to have you born south of the border!
