Kailyard school information


The 1894 work Beside the Bonnie Brier Bush is the archetypical example: a hugely popular bestseller depicting rural Scottish life

The Kailyard school is a proposed literary movement of Scottish fiction; kailyard works were published and were most popular roughly from 1880–1914. The term originated from literary critics who mostly disparaged the works said to be within the school; it was not a term of self-identification used by authors alleged to be within it. According to these critics, kailyard literature depicted an idealised version of rural Scottish life, and was typically unchallenging and sentimental.
