Kailyard School, from ‘kail-yard’ (cabbage patch), a term applied to a group of Scottish writers who exploited a sentimental and romantic image of small town life in Scotland, with much use of the vernacular; the vogue lasted from about 1888 to 1896. Leading writers in this vein were J. M.
Barrie, ‘Ian Maclaren’ ( John Watson, 1850–1907), and S. R. Crockett (1860–1914). These false notions of Scottish life were shattered by G.
Douglas in
The House with the Green Shutters (1901).
