• During the 1991-1992 school year, girls were first allowed as students at Appleby. They stayed in Baillie House residence.

The 1994-1995 school year was the first time that Walker House became a co-ed residence. Fiona Duthie was the first Head of House prefect for Walker House (girls). By September 1995 there were 30 female borders living in Walker House occupying the whole top floor and a large part of the main floor.
