"Northward of Windsor Street, in what was once a narrow, pleasant, and secluded path between thick hedgerows, called the Lover's Loan, was built, in 1876, at a short distance from the railway station, the Leith Walk public school, at a cost of £9,000; it is in the Decorated Collegiate style, calculated to accommodate about 840 scholars, and is a good specimen of the Edinburgh Board schools." – James Grant, Old And New Edinburgh, vol.iii, 1883
