These textiles are believed to have been given to Dr Thomas Laurie Brander M.D., J.P., of Glentower, Fort William and his wife in the late 19th century by local townsfolk for his help during the first Sino-Japanese War (1894-1895). He travelled to China with his wife in the late 19th century as a medical missionary for the Irish Presbyterian Church.
