Medicine kit belonging to Stuart Threipland (1716-1805). A medical doctor and staunch Jacobite, Threipland was appointed Physician-in-Chief to Charles Edward Stuart, aka Bonnie Prince Charlie, during the 1745 Jacobite Rising. After the catastrophic defeat at Culloden, Threipland disguised himself and fled to France. However, he was ultimately able to return to Scotland, buy back his family estate, and acquire such prominence in medicine that he was elected President of the Royal College of Physicians in Edinburgh.

This kit is believed to have been gifted to Threipland by Bonnie Prince Charlie himself. It is now in the Museum of the Royal College of Physicians, Edinburgh.
