The name of the Sutherland estate appears variously as "Embo," "Emboli, 1 ' " Eaynbo," " Eambo," " Embow," and even " Umbo."
  The history of Embo goes a long way back.
  Sir William Fraser in his " Sutherland Book ' states (p. 14) that it was the scene of an encounter between the men of 8utherland and the Norwegians. It was held by the Gordons from the sixteenth century down to 1835, when the second Duke of Suther and, in his omniverousness for land, added it by purchase to his colossal hold ings To this day, however, there is still a baronet "of Embo," namely Sir Home Seton Gordon.
