About Us & Our Products

Husband and Wife Team, Colin and Denise moved to the Highlands 22 years ago after holidaying in the area and falling in love with the people, heritage, textures, tastes, and colours which define the Highlands.

Colin, having worked as a plumber and handyman and Denise as a seamstress, upholsterer, and teacher for many years both retired in 2022 and set up Reloved Highland Barrels to combine their passion and skills to create unique, hand crafted whisky barrel furniture and home accessories

Our range of stools, benches, tables and other items are made from 100% solid oak whisky barrel staves and lids sourced from distilleries and reclamation yards across the highlands which makes each bench unique. The oak staves have colour and patina as rich and varied as the multitude of different liquids aged in each barrel over its lifetime. The staves are hand selected, cut, sanded and dowelled to form robust elegantly simple frames which are then lightly dressed with oil to enhance the natural unique properties of the wood.

Denise with her passion for fabrics and textiles, selects and upholstery each stool and bench with a range of 100% Scottish and British wool tweeds which reflect the natural colours of the Highland landscapes. Denise also makes matching cushions and shades to tie the items in with the existing decor in your home.
