The Kelpies themselves are a huge 30metre structure that sit above the Forth and Clyde Canal. They form an impressive gateway to the canal. They were created by a Scottish sculptor called Andy Scott and have to be seen to be truly appreciated. Not only can you walk around the outside and appreciate the sheer size of these giant horse heads but you are now able to get up close and go inside.
The Kelpies represent the horse powered heritage in central Scotland. They are no simple structure, once you have stepped inside you can appreciate the complexity and the incredible engineering which went into these monuments.
The Kelpies are not just a monument the represent fantastic Scottish engineering at its finest. They highlight the brilliance of the sculptor and the builders who erected both in just 90 days back in 2013!
