THEY are best known for their brightly-coloured robes and shaved heads, but now a group of Hare Krishna monks in Scotland are pioneering a new sustainable eco farm.
The project, called the Krishna Eco Farm, is based at an eight-acre farm in Lesmahagow, South Lanarkshire, and includes wind turbines, air source heat pumps, solar thermal panels and a biomass boiler.
Sustainable resource experts have described it as one of the most exciting eco projects in the west of Scotland.
