Reverend Thomas Barclay from Scotland came to Taiwan by ship in 1875 and dedicated 60 years of his life to the island. The Barclay Memorial Church built in 1926 features Grecian gables and Roman arches. The letters “TAI-LAM TANG-MNG PA-KHEK-LE KI-LIAM KAU-HOE” on the white half-dome at the front of the church is the phonetic transliteration of “Tainan East Gate Barclay Memorial Church.” The architectural style is quite rare in Taiwan.
