Walker Road School
Walker Road School was opened on 8th March 1897 and had nearly 600 pupils at this point. By 1938 it had over 1,600 pupils in 38 classes, which made it the biggest school in Scotland at the time. The roll of pupils later fell to a more manageable 400.

After Victoria Road the next streets to develop were Menzies Road and Walker Road. Walker Road, which grew up due to demand for housing among the trawl fishing community, was named after local tea and wine merchant James Walker.
