A Highland cow born in Italy has been celebrated with a Scottish birthday party - including a bagpiper and whisky tiramisu
.
Orti Generali bought two Highland cows in September, Tina and Baboo, with Gino born just weeks later - and the trio now graze at the garden which was once wasteland. The business took over the abandoned land, which was strewn with litter and debris, and transformed it into a citizen-led garden project made up of 160 vegetable gardens.
Stefano Olivari, founder of Orti Generali, said: "They become a public resource. The grazing animals carry out by themselves and by their nature what would be an expensive public service." He was officially named at the party on Thursday, which was dubbed 'a Scottish Welcome'. A bagpiper to welcome the guests followed by a Caledonian-themed lunch with 'Scottish style' potatoes and beer.
