Barr attended Charleston Academy in Inverness. He was instrumental in the rise of Robert Gordon University as a force in University Shinty. He has represented Scotland at all levels of shinty, most recently in 2009.[1][2]
He is one of few shinty players to have his own chant, in tribute to his physically dominant style of play [5]. The chant "John Barr ate my car" [3] is a favourite at games where he is playing.
Barr is a keen rugby union player in the closed season and plays for Highland RFC in Inverness.[4]
He was the first shinty player to ever receive a Universities Hurling All Star honour in 2006 after playing for British Universities GAA. [6]
