Just how deep is peat? Peat can range in depth, with our lowland bogs typically 5 to 10 metres deep and our blanket bogs up to 5 metres. Peat depth increases by up to around one millimetre each year, meaning that a metre of peat can take 1,000 years or longer to form! It takes 50 years to lock up carbon equal to the weight of a two-litre bottle of water in a square metre of peat. In 1,000 years, this will have locked up about 40 kg of carbon, the weight of 20 full bottles. Peatland restoration i

We don't know for sure why this butter was buried. Some theorise that it was a mode of preserva

Ghosts aren't the only supernatural creatures you have to watch out for now that spooky season is upon us. The open Scottish moors are a beautiful place, especially when the light hits it just right. But once things start to get dark, you could find yourself in an awful lot of trouble. Getting lost out here is bad enough, but if you see little balls of fire across the moor, then you could be in even more trouble. That's not a lamp or a torch of somebody coming to help you. That's more likely to
