    		Scotland in honor of Mary Slessor, a missionary who did work in Nigeria. She is on the Clydesdale Bank 10 pound note on the front, which also has a vignette of a map of Calabar and African missionary scenes on the back.

    Here is a link to the current banknote with Mary Slessor. The picture is too small to see the written words on the map.
