Fourth one is very small but I think its Lonns/Loans of Tulloch.

Thanks to all of you. The first one and the third one are completely sorted.
The file name of each says which part I could't understand and wanted.   
2nd one - Parish church, Great Hamilton - has been suggested, but I cannot find anything that confirms there was such a church with 'great' Hamilton attached to it.
4th one - I would still like the name of the place in Fearn.

It's not Parish Church Great Hamilton, it's Parish Church Yard (i.e. churchyard) , Hamilton. (see replies #7 & #8)

4th one - I would still like the name of the place in Fearn.

Please read reply #6 by Rhododendron and my reply #9, complete with location map
