Thanks to all have replied, I appreciate the input. I have just now joined the Sutherland Family History Facebook group; thank you for the hint about the Angi Lamb transcription, which I have not seen before.
Hugh and Isobel were married in 1775 in Shinnans. I believe these were their children:
1776 (baptism of John) – location: Island Choarie (island in Loch Eriboll) (Died before 1792, based on later child named John.)
1781 (baptism of Ann) – location: Iveran of Eriboll (Married Donald Mackay, weaver at Phaolin. Sons William and Hugh. Immigrated to to New London, PEI in 1806, later removed to Guernsey Cove, PEI about 1821.)
1784 (baptism of Barbara) – location: Balamhulich (Married John Corbett and remained in Durness. Several of her children immigrated to New London, PEI)
1787 (baptism of Hector) – location: Phaolin (southern end of Loch Eriboll) (Hector immigrated to New London, PEI in 1815 and removed to Guernsey Cove, PEI about 1821. Married in Durness Margaret Campbell.)
1792 (baptism of John) – location: Phaolin (John immigrated to New London, PEI in 1815 and removed to Guernsey Cove, PEI about 1821. Married Janet Anderson in PEI. This family and that of his brother Hector are listed side by side in the 1881 Census.)
I am reasonably certain that Ann, Hector and 2nd John are siblings since they all lived on adjacent farms in Guernsey Cove, PEI and I have an abundance of DNA matches among the descendants of Hector and 2nd John. I am less certain about 1st John and Barbara, but they seem to fit.
I am not sure about the locations of Shinnans and Balamhulich, but the others are all proximate to Loch Eriboll.
