Jaymac - first of all, welcome to the forum! I'm afraid that most of us here in the U.S. would be hard pressed to advise you on Scottish agriculture. We do have some members located in France and (I believe) Scotland so perhaps they will read this and chime in.

If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.

When a question like your comes up from the US, the suggestion usually is made to check with the local agricultural extension service. Maybe the Scottish Ministry of Agriculture can provide some help.

I have a friend that comes from Wales and he says people used to bury thier dead in the bogs,that it would preserve the bodies like mummies.He also said some bogs are about the thickness of a mattress and float on water,so be careful.He says he never remembers anyone groing anything in them,just cutting peet for fuel or mulch and packing materials.

Farming the Sour Soil
In Maine we would try Blue Berries. I don't know if that is a big crop there, but I bet they or Cranberries or several other lowland type crops would do well. If not many people grow them it would be great produce to introduce.

My sister and brother in law live in Scotland, but are in Africa for a couple of years... I could swing by and talk Cubs if I ever get over there.
I would say be careful on the dang hillsides, don't want any tractor tipping stories.

Honeybees would be my pick for your farm in Scotland. Here is a link for the beekeepers association.
