The WEA did extend its activities into Scotland shortly before the first world war, but its impact was slight. Its main strength was to be in the industrial area around Glasgow, but it has never enjoyed the influence or the prestige that it has done in England. Moreover, the activists within the Scottish Trade Union movement seem to have been committed to a more militant political approach than that favoured by the WEA and thus to have been more attracted, educationally, by the teaching of the National Council of Labour Colleges.
