Barbour Way of Life

Episode 18: Uncle Harry

More than thirty years ago, outside Balavil House in the Scottish Highlands, a photograph was taken. In it, the Macpherson-Fletcher family stood together – united not just by name, but by the presence of Uncle Harry’s Barbour jacket. Worn, well-loved and steeped in stories, it would become the oldest jacket in our archive, dating back to 1910. ​

Now, the family has returned to the very same spot. The house has changed, the landscape too – but the people remain. Older, wiser, and ready to share memories that have never been told. At the heart of it all is Uncle Harry himself: the man who left the land, yet left his mark in ways that still endure. ​

Set across the acres they still call their own, this is a portrait of place, memory and connection. Generations side by side and the quiet joy of standing again where it all began. ​
