My Lochgelly Tawses are faithful replicas on the famous tawses used in Scottish schools and institutions. Originally, they were made in Lochgelly Fife, by a local saddler called John J. Dick. These items are sought after by many CP enthusiasts, but the genuine antique ones are now in short supply and can cost several hundred pounds to buy. However they are a little like Rolex watches, even good copies are worth having. They are formidable instruments, much larger and heavier than many S&M tawses, but for strap lovers, or traditional CP devotees, they are the ideal choice.
They come in 3 sizes (see below)
| Item | Length | Width | Price | |
| The two tail junior school strap | 22 inches | 1¼ inches | £35.00 | |
| The two tail senior school strap | 24 inches | 1½ inches | £40.00 | |
| The three tail Glasgow Strap or "Muckle Tawse" which was used in Scottish courts and reformatories | 26 inches | 2 inches | £50.00 |
All the above are coloured cordovan, to give an antique appearance, however we can supply these in natural leather if preferred.
