The Kelpies are two magnificent 30-meter-tall horse-head sculptures located in The Helix park in Falkirk, Scotland. Designed by artist Andy Scott, they celebrate the role of horses in Scottish history and industry. These towering artworks also symbolize mythical water horses from Scottish folklore, blending heritage with modern art. A must-see marvel!
In Scottish folklore, a kelpie is a dangerous shape-shifting water creature that can appear on land as a horse. The kelpie appears to their human victims as a grey or white horse, entices them to ride on their back, then carries them down to a watery grave.
