So he probably answered exam questions written by the Scottish universities but whilst he was studying in Durham university.

Rather unlikely I think. There would be interchange of ideas between universities, but I can't see anyone doing Edinburgh University medical exams while a medical student at an English University  :-\

BUT

As pointed out in reply #5

Indeed - but these are the examinations of the Royal Colleges, not of the University of Edinburgh or the University of Glasgow.
Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.

Thanks again for the help everyone, I really appreciate it.

The university bit is a total mystery to me so this is a great help.
