Look and see what places like Inverewe did. You need to plant a
windbreak and improve the soil. Acid peat is usually very low
in all nutrients - spreading a load of lime is easy and cheap,
but won't help much. One of the traditional fertilisers is
seaweed.

Raised beds filled with John Innes for vegetables is an option, it'll give you a good controllable growing medium.

Lots of kits for them on 'tinternet if you don't want to source the bits individually but time expired scaffold planks can be had very cheaply or even free if you've got a scaff company nearby.
