Summary
Cutting peat on the islands in the Sound of Harris.
The contributor describes how, as Berneray had no peat, the islanders harvested peat on some of the smaller islands in the Sound of Harris, such as Obisay, Votersay, Sartay, Neartay, and, after 1924, Stromay. She describes how a working party was got together, how many peat irons they would use, and what food they would take with them.
