In 1936, the great Markree Refractor was installed at the Jesuit Seminary in Aberdeen. Further information in the Hong Kong Telegaph dated 11 July 1936 here and at https://gwulo.com/atom/25123

The telescope has an interesting connection to the Observatory's first Director, Dr. W. Doberck who had previously worked at the Makree Observatory, in Sligo, Ireland. A photo of Doberck using the refractor at Markree Observatory in the late 1870s here
