Old Photograph Peat Carts Orkney Scotland


Old photograph of Peat Carts on the Orkney Islands, Scotland. Crofters bringing home the peat. To get the peat back to their cottages, and ready for use was very labour intensive and there were several processes that the peat had to go through. In the past the whole process was carried out not by one individual, but by a group of Crofters, usually several families who got together to help each other.
