Embo, Sutherland

Embo (Scottish Gaelic: Eurabol, IPA:[ˈiaɾəpɔɫ̪]) is a village in the Highland Council Area in Scotland[1] and the former postal county of Sutherland, about two miles (three kilometres) north-northeast of Dornoch.

Cuddies were accepted in the local public house, Grannies Heilan' Hame, in exchange for a measure of Clynelish Malt Whisky.

The owners of the distillery, in nearby Brora, sponsored the bid for independence by issuing a commemorative label on 50 cases of Clynelish Malt Whisky – "The Spirit of Free Embo".

As with the entire region of East Sutherland, the end of the 19th century and the collapse of the fishing industry coincided with the decline of Gaelic as the majority language of the people.

[5] Coul Links, an area of sand dunes protected as part of a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI),[6] lies to the north of the village.
