Shetland - Foula
Stackng peat to dry after cutting on Foula. There is no coal or mains gas. Oil is expensive and must be brought in by ferry, so peat still provides a way of keeping warm for those fit enough and willing to cut it, which many now are not, as it's easier to pay for electricity. There is still a lot of peat on Foula.
