Queen Margaret College was a women-only higher education institution based in North Park House in Kelvinside, Glasgow, Scotland.

The idea of a college arose as the result of English literature lectures for women that were suggested by Janet "Jessie" Campbell to Professor John Nichol of the University of Glasgow.

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 formal motion was adopted at the Annual General Meeting of the college on 28 April 1890 [3] Classes in the study of medicine commenced for 13 students in the winter session of 1890/1891.

The funding for the erection of this purpose-built facility came from the Bellahouston Trust which had been established for charitable, religious and educational purposes in the city.
