James MacArthur Moir (died 1872) was a Scottish miller and laird. He owned a large tract of land in Dunoon, Argyll and Bute, which was partly built on his Milton estate.[1] McArthur (sic) and Moir Streets in the town are named for him.
What is now known as Dunoon's East Bay was originally named Milton Bay.[2] Milton Burn still runs south and east through Dunoon and discharges into East Bay.
Moir was born to John MacArthur Moir, of Milton and Hillfoot, and Catherine Alexander.[3]
