Pattern for the Ulster doctor? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

paisley

This clue might be a double definition.

'pattern' is the first definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I don't see?

'ulster doctor?' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how one could define the other.

'for the' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for paisley that I've seen before include "Scottish town - bright pattern - Unionist Ian" , "Patterned fabric" , "Ian, politician or kind of pattern" , "Patterned textile originating in a Scottish town" , "Colourful pattern of the northern politician" .)
