The Mysterious Kelpies of Helix Park in Falkirk | A Tour of Scotland’s Monumental Tribute to Myth, Industry, and Majesty

Towering 30 meters (100 feet) above the Forth and Clyde Canal in central Scotland, and weighing more than 300 tonnes each, The Kelpies are the largest equine sculptures in the world. These twin horse-head statues, designed by Scottish sculptor Andy Scott, stand as a modern tribute to Scotland’s rich mythological and industrial heritage. Unveiled in 2014, The Kelpies have since become a symbol of the country's artistic spirit, a beacon of local pride, and one of Scotland’s top visitor attractions. But these aren’t just horse statues. They are living steel metaphors - part myth, part machinery, and entirely mesmerizing!
