Scotland Road or "Scottie Road" is the A59 and is situated near the docks in the Vauxhall area of north Liverpool, England. ==History==
Scotland Road was created in the 1770s as a turnpike road to Preston via Walton and Burscough. It became part of a stagecoach route to Scotland, hence its name. It was partly widened in 1803 and streets of working class housing laid out either side as Liverpool expanded. Scotland Road was at the centre of working class life for the people of the surrounding areas of Everton, Vauxhall and Islington. The area is near to the north Liverpool docks and Liverpool city centre. The population in Victorian times was swelled by the arrival of thousands of Irish migrants many of whom had left Ireland because of the Great Hunger. The area became known for having a lot of residents of Irish descent who were Roman Catholics. The Liverpool Scotland UK Parliament constituency was represented by an Irish Nationalist MP until 1929.
