The Kelpies, towering 30 meters high, are striking horse-head sculptures that represent kelpies, the shape-shifting water spirits of Scottish lore. These magnificent structures are situated between Falkirk and Grangemouth, adjacent to a new extension of the Forth and Clyde Canal and near the River Carron, within The Helix parkland. This project was developed to connect 16 communities within the Falkirk Council Area in Scotland. Sculpted by the talented Andy Scott, The Kelpies stand as a majestic gateway to the eastern entrance of the Forth and Clyde Canal and the new canal extension, part of the incredible Helix land transformation project. These awe-inspiring sculptures pay homage to Scotland's proud horse-powered heritage, honoring the hardworking beasts that were essential to the country's economic growth for centuries. Standing an impressive 30 meters tall and weighing a colossal 300 tons, these monuments symbolize the immense significance of these animals in Scotland's history.
