Dugald Christie was born in 1855, the son of a sheep farmer in Glencoe. Orphaned in childhood, he was apprenticed to a draper in Glasgow before studying medicine under the Edinburgh Medical Missionary Society. In 1882 Christie travelled to Manchuria (Northeast China) as a medical missionary of the United Presbyterian Church of Scotland. Based first in Newchang and later in Mukden (now Shenyang), he established a network of dispensaries and in the mid 1880s opened the first hospital in Manchuria. Christie promoted the training of local medical staff, leading to the founding of Mukden Medical College in 1912. After the death of his first wife Elizabeth in 1888, he married Liza Inglis in 1892.
