peat farming

Hi there, am unsure if I am on the correct site but am looking for some help. I have recently returned from a trip from to the Western Isles and had the most amazing time however when i returned to sydney I found that I had lost some pictures of the women who were peat farming in the beginning of the century, they wore the baskets on their back. They were the most amazing pictures and I have been trying to track some down via the web..... if anyone can help me or knows of where I can obtain new ones it would be appreciated. Thanks, Claire.

The picture shows peat farming on Islay in the late 19th century.

Mrs. Janet Hayball from Ullapool sells cards and prints of this kind. She has no website. But is to be found on markets in this town and probably has a shop there.
