Rising 30 meters into the sky at The Helix park in Falkirk, the Kelpies are among Scotland’s most iconic modern landmarks. These monumental steel horse-head sculptures, created by artist Andy Scott, are both a tribute to the nation’s working heritage and a reminder of the timeless myths that run through its landscape. On one level, the Kelpies honor the mighty draft horses that once hauled barges along canals, plowed fields, and drove the machinery of Scotland’s agricultural and industrial age.

The The Kelpies are massive horse-head sculptures located in Falkirk, central Scotland. They’re one of the most famous modern landmarks in the country. Two 30-metre (98 ft) high steel sculptures. Designed by sculptor Andy Scott. Represent kelpies, mythical shape-shifting water spirits from Scottish folklore (often appearing as horses). #thekelpies #Lifestyle #falkirk #beautifuldestinations | Beauty of the World
