James Gordon MacGregor

James Gordon MacGregor, FRS (31 March 1852 in Halifax, Canada – 21 May 1913 in Edinburgh) was a Canadian physicist.

He was described as "brilliant, energetic, nervous, impatient", and not suffering fools gladly.^[1]

In 1901 he succeeded to P.G. Tait’s chair of natural philosophy at Edinburgh in 1901. The invitation was impossible to resist: "salary better, equipment good, pension laid on".^[1]
