Old Photograph Queen Margaret College Glasgow Scotland

Old photograph of Queen Margaret College in Glasgow, Scotland. This was a women only higher education institution based in North Park House. It was established in 1868 by the Association for the Higher Education of Women, as women were not at the time permitted to study at Scottish universities. The College was named for Queen Margaret of Scotland, and at the time was the only such college in the country. North Park House, built between 1869 and 1871 for John and Matthew Bell, owners of the Glasgow Pottery, was purchased by Isabella Elder, a local philanthropist and wife of the shipbuilder John Elder, to house the College, which moved into the premises adjacent to the University's Botanic Gardens in 1883. A new Medical Hall was built in 1895, designed by John Keppie with input by Charles Rennie Mackintosh. The College merged with the University of Glasgow in 1892, although the premises continued to be used solely for the education of women until being sold to BBC Scotland in 1934.
