The Kelpies, Falkirk, Scotland

WOW is all I have to say about these quite simply amazing HUGE 30 metre metal art sculptures that stand guard over the Forth and Cylde Canal in Scotland. I have been wanting to visit this magnificent art installation since they were created back in 2013 and boy were they worth the wait.

Firstly there are two horses on show and they represent the huge Kelpie horses that use to tow cargo on the canal many, many years before. Andy Scott the creator has done an outstanding job and I am delighted to see that the place is open 24 hours a day so that we can all enjoy them whenever we wish.

 

You can watch a one hour documentary on how they were designed and built. It's well worth a watch. www.youtube.com/watch?v=KQvVrem2sYw
