Prior to being called The Queen’s College, Glasgow the Park Drive College was known as The Glasgow and West of Scotland College of Domestic Science (Incorporated). This Scottish central institution was the result of a merger in 1908 between The Glasgow School of Cookery and The West End School of Cookery, these schools dating back to 1875 and 1878 respectively. The Queen had been Patron of the College since 1944 and in the year of its centenary celebrations, 1975, she gave her name to the College.
