Turbary




#By extension, the word may be applied to the material extracted from the turbary. This means Peat which seems usually, perhaps always, to be Moss Peat .
#Turbary which is more fully expressed legally as '''common of turbary''', is the right to cut turf from a turbary on a common or in some cases, another person's land.

Turf was widely used for Cooking and domestic heating but also for commercial purposes such as evaporating Brine to produce Salt . The right to take peat was particularly important in areas where firewood was scarce.
