Tawse
A tawse ' (the plural of Scots taw, a thong of a whip) is a typically Scottish implement for physical punishment, called tawsing after it, that was often used for educational discipline instead of the English cane (which, like the horse crop, was however used in private schools, usually on bare bottoms or the hands).
