4. Scott-Maxwell High School, This was very popular choice with older Bailliestonians. Bannerman HS was built in the Home Field of the Baillieston House Estate. The last proprietor of the Baillieston and Garrowhill Estates and Lands of Baillieston was John Maxwell Scott-Maxwell.

However the Education sub-committee of Lanarkshire county council eventually decided to name it after the retiring county architect Charles Bannerman. The school became under the control of Glasgow City Council when Baillieston was incorporated into the city's boundaries in 1975.
