The Kelpies by Andy Scott

The Kelpies tower 30 metres above the Forth & Clyde canal in Falkirk and form a dramatic gateway to the canal entrance. Sculpted by Andy Scott, The Kelpies are a monument to horse powered heritage across Central Scotland.
I'd seen pictures of them, watched an hour long documentary about how they were designed and built, and still I wasn't prepared for how spectacular they are in the flesh. They are simply mesmerising.
If you're in Scotland go there, no excuses, you will not be disappointed.

I had remembered this gallery from years ago and had to visit it again after I visited the Kelpies. A most enjoyable part of our trip.

A fantastic collection of images from the Kelpies sculptures, Johnny. Very imposing and different to anything I have seen before. BBV

Just wonderful. I have seen the two at the Falkirk Wheel - as you rightly say - they are just mind-blowing.

Not heard of these before. What a wonderful gallery. Must look these up sometime, looks a great place to visit.

They are wonderful. Perhaps it's a blessing they are somewhere off the tourist trail as it's great to photograph them largely devoid of humans.
