With her she has an unmarried daughter, Euphemia aged 25, seamstress, blind and an unmarried son, Robert aged 23 [i.e. born 1858-ish], an unemployed painter. The ages and mother's name are right but the son's occupation doesn't look hopeful as a precursor to becoming a doctor. There are no other likely Robert SOUTARs in the 1881 Census for the Scottish Highlands. If Thomas and Margaret were married in 1855 in Angus, you should be able to get their marriage certificate from Scotland's People to get their parents' names.
