Nice short history called 'Reay, Looking at the Pat' by Reay School Pupils.

There is also a book called Memories of our Parish by Donald Mackay which may be of some use.

It is amazing how many Pats, sorry Prats there are on the list. Pity that people like Green_not_Greed cannot be helpful rather than sarcastic. Still if he or she gets pleasure by writing such cow pats I suppose we must let him, her or it have his, her or its moment of glee!

'This was my glen', Caithness Notebook no 2, by Donald Mackay. Mainly about Shebster/Shurrery in Reay Parish. Its in the library. Worth reading.

Why not track down and question some of the older residents, I bet they'd have some tales. Also the Minters at Sandside seem very knowledgeable about the area.
