Barrhill is a lightly populated locality in the Canterbury region of New Zealand's South Island. It is situated on the Canterbury Plains, on the right bank of the Rakaia River, about 17 kilometres (11 mi) inland from Rakaia. It was founded by Cathcart Wason in the mid-1870s and named by him after his old home Barrhill in South Ayrshire, Scotland. Wason set it up as a model village for the workers of his large sheep farm. The population of the village peaked in the mid-1880s before the general recession initiated a downturn for the village. Wason had expected for the Methven Branch railway to run past Barrhill, but the line was built in 1880 on an alignment many miles away, which caused Barrhill population to decrease.

  • Barrhill é uma localidade pouco povoada da região de Canterbury, Ilha do Sul, Nova Zelândia. Está situada nas Planícies de Canterbury, na margem direita do Rio Rakaia. Foi fundada por Cathcart Wason em meados da década de 1870 e nomeado por ele em homenagem a sua antiga cidade, Barrhill em South Ayrshire, Escócia. Wason tentou fazer de Barrhill uma aldeia-modelo para os trabalhadores de sua grande fazenda de ovelhas. A população da aldeia atingiu o pico em meados da década de 1880, antes de uma recessão iniciada uma crise econômica. Wason esperava que um troço ferroviário conseguisse alcançar o povoado, mas a linha foi construída em 1880 em um alinhamento a muitos quilômetros de distância, o que fez com que a população de Barrhill diminuísse.
