Oops! " Ministry of Agriculture" in line 1 should read "Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries" and "Minister of Agriculture" in 5th line should read "Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries".

Tom Fraser’s father was married to my father’s first cousin, the daughter of Barbara Mackay (Roy) of 1 Terrace Street, Embo. Of course the night lights of Portmahomach can be seen from Embo so I have no doubt that Tom Fraser’s father and indeed my own father must have had fond looks towards Embo when working there. Not that they would have seen much lights from Embo as electricity only got there in 1946!
