 The one hardship that Moultrie suffered as a result of the conflict was the impossibility of finding a 'surgeon lad' to act as his assistant, as all had left the capital to serve the warring armies. He was sorry to learn too of the death of [[Colin Maclaurin (1698-1746)]], Professor of [[Mathematics]], partly as a result of his exertions in fortifying the city as a voluntary military engineer.
-Moultrie took up lodgings with 'seven, sober young students' on the advice of the recently retirerd Professor [[Andrew Sinclair (c1698-1760)]] who 'takes some pains about me'. He studied [[Anatomy]] under [[Alexander Monro ''primus'' (1697-1767)]], the Practice of Physic under [[John Rutherford (1695-1779)]] and Institutes of Medicine under Sinclair's replacement [[Robert Whytt (1714-1766)]]  who 'gives great satisfaction to all his hearers'. Moultire was among the first students to benefit when Rutherford innovatively introduced clinical lectures into the curriculum in 1748. He writes (2 February 1748):

 Moultrie arrived in England after a perilous 32-day voyage, towards the end of which his ship was chased and almost captured by a Spanish vessel. On 16 July 1746, he wrote to his parents from London to say that he 'had employment all the way over', tending to the ship's captain and some of the crew who had fallen ill with fever. He prepared to set out for Edinburgh with some trepidation, noting that 'poor Scotland is in a bad condition' in the wake of the [[The University and the '45|1745-46 Jacobite Rebellion]], and 'whole familys die famished'. On arrival in Edinburgh on 25 August, however, he found the city 'easyer than I thought it would be after the Rebellion, only the ladys are always squabling for there is a number of them Jacobites'.
