William and Isabella in "Rean"
they married May 22 in FARR parish
consulting a list of FARR place names no "Rean" listed
some other possibilities
are
REAY – 20th century
RHENEVIE (Renivie) – shown on 1691 list – burial grounds 1926
RHICHORK – 1809 militia
RHIFAILL (Rhifail, Rhiphail) – Strathnaver – shows on 1691 list – 20th century
RHILOISK
RHINORY – 1881 shepherd family only
RHIPHAIL – see Rhifaill
RHIROY – near Strathy west – shepherd family here in 1881
RIANCHAITED – burial grounds 1914
RINCHAELL – 1691 list
nothing in FARR that is close to Lowick but Leckfurin(Leckviurn)

Farr beach is near Thurso & Reay is also in Thurso Caithness.

Sorry the parish of FARR is definitely in Sutherland. It is however fairly close to Thurso which is a settlement and a parish.
Reay administratively is it's own parish in Caithness now but earlier records may be found in FARR/DURNESS which are parishes in Sutherland.
For those people who don't know this they need to look in the other parishes if they can't find the records they are looking for in Caithness.
