When plans for a huge Buddhist temple on the outskirts of Edinburgh had to be shelved, monks based in what was once a family home in the city decided to transform it instead.
A renovation project at The Dhammapadipa Temple in Slateford saw a double garage converted into a prayer room complete with an 80 stone (500kg) gold-plated Buddha from Thailand.
Now the three resident Theravada Buddhist monks are urging people to visit the temple to see the transformation.
Members of the Thai community that settled in Scotland first established The Dhammapadipa Temple in 2005.
Thai billionaire and former Leicester City chairman Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha had been behind a plan to relocate the temple to a bigger site in an A-listed property in another area of the city.
Kachen Gerdphol, chairman of temple, told BBC Scotland Mr Srivaddhanaprabha had been known for his great generosity to his Buddhist faith.
"He had found a big A-listed property in the south-east of Edinburgh and asked us to come and have a look to see if we liked it," he said.

"It was a very grand building and it was very expensive."
The community decided that instead of moving to another site it would improve the temple's current base in an ordinary suburban home.

"We really need to live within our means and if we had been left maintaining an A-listed building it would have left us very vulnerable," added Kachen Gerdphol.
"Welove our temple in Slateford as it is easy to access for our monks and community.
