During the two hundred years under review, medical education in Scotland evolved gradually from an apprentice system to become the prerogative of the universities of St Andrews, Aberdeen, Glasgow and Edinburgh, named in the order of their foundation. Of those, the University of Edinburgh was not only the last to be founded, it differed also in that its administration initially was by the Town Council. It was an Act passed by that body on 9 February 1726, that established the Charter of the Medical Faculty of the University. Four Fellows of the Royal College of Physicians, Edinburgh, namely John Rutherford, Andrew Sinclair, Andrew Plummer and John Innes were appointed foundation professors, the first two to chairs of the theory and practice of medicine, Plummer and Innes to chairs of medicine and chemistry. All four had been pupils of Boerhaave.
