- ljf 3y agoVery true - but the value of peat as a heating fuel is now vastly diminished as other more efficient fuels are available for a lower price. I remember peat still being burnt in Shetland when I was young, and compared to coal or even wood it gave off very little heat. There is still plenty of peat to be taken 'for free' as a fuel using traditional methods, but very little is burnt now, as it is easier and cheaper to heat your home, with wood, coal or more likely gas or electricity.
