The banner seems to have belonged to the Confraternity of the Holy Blood of St Giles' Collegiate Kirk, Edinburgh, a religious society whose members included King James IV.
It is the only known extant church banner from medieval Scotland. Its name comes from the fact that from the early 19th century until it came to the museum (originally on loan in 1956 and then as a donation in 1959) it was held at the house of Fetternear in Aberdeenshire.
