Missionary Mary Slessor was the first Scottish woman to appear on a Scottish banknote. These notes bear the dates of her birth and death in the serial numbers. Scenes, taken from the Mary Slessor memorial window, on the museum's ground floor, illustrate her journey from the jute mills of Dundee to her work in Calabar.
