Notes

It is likely the address is meant as Fifth or Back Street. Back Street is the fifth street in Embo. Or if you count from Back Street (being First Back Street), then Front Street is the Fifth street.


Note, from https://www.historylinksarchive.org.uk/picture/number3305.asp

Hope Cottage was No 10 Front Street and there was an emply stand between it and No 9 Front Street (Mizpah Cottage) which was owned by my maternal grandparents Donald Cumming and Annie Cumming (Nee Fraser). RJ Mackay built a supply store on the empty stand and this building in now Mackays Post Office, Embo. The writing on the photo appears to be that of RJ Mackay who loved to write using a pseudo Scots dialect.
