The Kelpies
The Kelpies are two large horse-head sculptures located in Falkirk, Scotland. Designed by artist Andy Scott, these impressive structures stand 30 meters tall and are made of stainless steel. They represent the mythical water spirits known as kelpies from Scottish folklore, which are said to take the form of horses.
Completed in 2013, The Kelpies are part of the Helix Park project, aimed at transforming the area into a vibrant space for recreation and tourism. The sculptures celebrate Scotland's industrial heritage, particularly its connection to horse-powered canal boats that once navigated the Forth and Clyde Canal.
