Walcheren Barracks is a drill hall located at Hotspur Street in Maryhill, Glasgow, Scotland.
The current building was originally constructed in 1935 as the new headquarters of the 9th (Glasgow Highlanders) Battalion, The Highland Light Infantry, which had moved from 81 Greendyke Street (now demolished and replaced by apartments) near Glasgow Green.
[2] The building was named Walcheren Barracks in 1985 by Princess Margaret, on the occasion of the presentation of Colours to the 1st Battalion, 52nd Lowland Volunteers.
The designation Walcheren, was in recognition of Operation Infatuate, part of the Battle of the Scheldt in which the Glasgow Highlanders of 52nd (Lowland) Division were involved in the capture of Walcheren Island on 8 November 1944.
