Saying that, supplies of highland & Islay peat are dwindling - in a few hundred years they won't be using local peat to dry out the barley

I don't think there is any lack of peat in Scotland - I guess what there is a lack of is areas where people are happy to ruin the landscape to harvest peat.

e.g. The Flow Country of Caithness and Sutherland:
