I don't know who the man is. Along with Archie MacDonald I helped demolish the station around 1969/1970 when I was working on Embo Mains. What a pity, hindsight is a great thing. I recall the solid pine cladding of the Waiting Room and the office. Incidentally I also travelled on the last journey made by the Dornoch Coffee Pot.

This picture of Embo Railway Station was taken by Mrs Barbara Tulloch, grand-daughter of Mrs Barbara Mackay (Roy), 1 Terrace Street, Embo. The gentleman walking along the platform is her late husband, Ian Tulloch, a former Telephone Engineer in the area, who retired in Inverness
