Back row L-R. The boy seventh from the left is not Tommy Mackay, Embo but Tommy Grant, Embo. His elder brother James Grant and younger sister Jessie Joan Grant also went to Dornoch School. My older brothers Donald James and Hamish Mackay went to Dornoch School with Tommy Grant but none of these Embo children lived in the school hostels but cycled the 3 miles to school each day.

Thanks William, I think that I ran put of fingers with that count! Must have been that glass in my right hand.
Tommy Grant was always known in Embo a Toma Grant and James as Jima Grant. They lived at 3 Front Street. In Embo their father Alexander Grant was known as Alex aig Johan and their mother Isabella Grant, as Bella aig Deddle. Toma is now retired in the South of Scotland after having worked many years in Clydebank as an electrician. Jima trained in the Glasgow shipyards as a ship engineer in the 1950s and later worked as a Chief Engineer with the P and O line sailing to the then named Bombay in India. Toma and Jima were very proficient fishermen and rabbit "hunters" in their young days. Comment left on 13 September 2017 at 17:10 by Kenneth Mackay
