Could you please resend the clip with a bit more of the word in question ? I think you have cut off the top of the first letter ?

I'd agree that the entire entry would help, but do think its likely to say feuar.

Definition from Scotlands People is here:

Thank you for the definition Ticketyboo, seems to fit. I've no idea about Scottish vocabulary - but I'm still wondering about that loopy continuation (?) of the word Sinclair, if the word underlined starts with an 'f'

okay, as I have a nosey streak and a shed load of credits for SP, I looked at the entry.
It reads as follows:

Dec 9th 1821 Macallum & Sinclair

Proclaimed with a view to their marriage with each other Andrew Macullum of this Parish (son of John McCallum of the Parish of of Buchanan) and Mary Sinclair, daughter of Arch. Sinclair feuar in Dunoon and the said parties were accordingly  Married on the 10th day of December 1821 years

Which clears up my hesitation about this regarding the Mary Sinclair being a feuar, as it was her father, not her.

However, a former superior has a period of two years from 28 November 2004 (the date of abolition) within which to claim a compensatory payment of approximately 21 times the amount of the annual feuduty from the party who was the feuar on 28 November 2004.
