In 1998, Greg McShane
demonstrated a remarkable identity for the lengths of simple closed geodesics on
cusped hyperbolic surfaces. In 2006, we generalized this to hyperbolic cone-surfaces,
possibly with cusps and/or geodesic boundary. In this paper, we generalize the
identity further to the case of classical Schottky groups. As a consequence, we obtain
some surprising new identities in the case of Fuchsian Schottky groups. For classical
Schottky groups of rank 2, we also give generalizations of the Weierstrass identities,
given by McShane in 2004.
