The Kelpies, Falkirk

🐎🚌 ✨The Kelpies, Falkirk – Scotland’s Majestic Horse Sculptures 📍 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Standing at an impressive 30 meters (100 feet) tall, The Kelpies are the world’s largest equine sculptures, a breathtaking tribute to Scotland’s industrial heritage and the legendary water spirits of Scottish folklore. Located in The Helix Park, Falkirk, these towering steel sculptures represent the power, strength, and endurance of the working horses that once played a vital role in Scotland’s canals, agriculture, and industry.

The Story Behind The Kelpies
Designed by Scottish sculptor Andy Scott, The Kelpies were officially unveiled in 2013 and have since become one of Scotland’s most visited landmarks. Their name comes from mythical shape-shifting water spirits known as kelpies, which were said to haunt Scotland’s lochs and rivers, often appearing as magnificent horses. However, rather than being tied to the darker side of folklore, these sculptures celebrate Scotland’s working horses, like the Clydesdales, which helped shape the country’s industrial past.
