Ian Hamilton Finlay, Glasgow Beasts, and a Burd (complete set reprinted among other places in Noise and Smoky Breath, a comprehensive anthology of Glasgow poems, which also has Tom Leonard's "Six Glasgow Poems", etc.).
D.M.Black -- most accessible would be the early poems from With Decorum, notably "The Red Judge".

He and Peter Manson and Tom Leonard might make an interesting triumvirate to teach in the same context.
(In case anyone hasn't come on it, here's the URL of Tom Leonard's site:

Subject: scottish suggestions
I'm perhaps being lazy here but any suggestions for outstanding or favorite poems by Scottish writers post WW2 would be welcome. [log in to unmask] if backchannel -- I'm pretty well versed in the area but one can't read everything, and I'm putting together readings for American undergrads in a Scottish literature seminar.
