"Medicine was one of the subjects taught at Aberdeen University, at King's College, at the time it was founded by Bishop Elphinstone in the late 15th century, but it lapsed. It was introduced again by the Aberdeen Medical Society in 1789 and gradually taken on fully by Marischal College, which was close to the old Aberdeen Infirmary. The Medical School developed greatly in the 19th century. This is a trephining kit which comes from the Department of Surgery at the University of Aberdeen. The kit contains a drill with two appropriate wide bits, extenders and two-edged cutting tools, all made in stainless steel with black composite handles. With it, a hole could be made in the skull to relieve pressure from bleeding inside the skull or to gain access to the inside of the head. The kit would have been standard equipment for a surgeon."
