The following transcription is of my photocopy of the 1871 census for Reiff. The photocopy is pretty clear in most places.
The columns on the 1871 census read;
No. of Schedule
Road, Street, &c. and No. or Name of House.
Name and Surname of each Person.
Relation to Head of Family.
Condition.
Age of
Males.
Females.
Rank, Profession, or Occupation.
Where Born. (All marked as "Ross Shire", except Ann McKenzie in Reiff 71-76, she is marked "Sutherland Shire".)
The enumerator numbered the Riff households from 56 to 80, I have identified the households by using a prefix of "71" to denote the 1871 census data, and a suffix based on the enumerators numbering.
