For Peat鈥檚 Sake

The stories of interwoven lives during the peat-cutting season on the stunning Isle of Lewis.

From ancient rituals to its associations with whisky, peat continues to have an historical and cultural importance in the Scottish way of life, and nowhere more so than on the stunning Isle of Lewis, where the tradition of peat cutting is still an integral part of island life. For many islanders it is not just a source of fuel but a way of life. It is part of what makes them who they are. Filmed over half a year, to capture the full peat season unfolding, this film weaves the stories of lives, young and old, who cherish this tradition.
