He became Regius Professor of Mathematics at the University of St Andrews in 1668. In 1672 he mathematically established a meridian line, a line circling the earth from pole to pole along which the time is the same, passing through St Andrews. Currently all time in the world is calculated using a line passing through Royal Observatory at Greenwich. Noon on this line is known as 12.00 GMT (Greenwich Mean Time). As St Andrews is further west than Greenwich, the time at Gregory's meridian is 12 minutes behind GMT. To mark his meridian, Gregory carved it into the floor of his laboratory, now part of the King James Library at the University of St Andrews. In 2014 a brass meridian line and plaque were installed in the pavement of South Street outside the Library to commemorate Gregory's achievement.

Though the stone building was officially opened in 1896, it was seriously burnt in 1913 and was no longer used until the end of WW2. In 1945, Gatty Marine Laboratory received an operating budget of £50(around £1,780 under the modern currency) to be used as a field station by zoologists and botanists based in the Bute Medical Building in the town center. In the following years, it has been led by Dr. James Munro Dodd, then Dr. Adrian Horridge, together with Prof. Michael Laverack. With the richness of fauna and flora, Gatty Marine Laboratory is no doubt one of the best choices for research purposes. Ever since 1987, it has become part of the research institute that belongs to the School of Biology. All kinds of interdisciplinary researches have been carried out here: behavior, ecology, physiology, population biology, functional genomics of marine organisms, etc. A few years later, it received the highest number of research grants in marine biology of any UK department. By the late 1990s, its scale was expanded and the majority of the buildings became occupied by the Natural Environment Research Council.

At this time Franklin was resident in London as the representative of the Pennsylvania Assembly. The honorary degree was awarded to him in recognition of his work on electricity. In 1748 he had invented a new type of electric battery using sheets of glass sandwiched between lead plates. Hi most famous experiment was conducted in 1752, when he showed that lightening was electricity by flying a kite in a thunderstorm, by collecting some of the charge from the clouds in a battery connected to the kite. This was a very dangerous experiment, as Franklin could have been struck by lightning, although he was careful to stand on a sheet of material that did not conduct electricity to protect himself while flying the kite. In 2002 a plaque was unveiled on North Street to commemorate Franklin's visit to St Andrews.
