The Kelpies are massive steel horse-head sculptures located in Scotland, near Falkirk and Grangemouth. Standing at 30 meters high, these sculptures represent the strength and endurance of mythical water horses known as kelpies. Designed by sculptor Andy Scott, The Kelpies were completed in 2013 and have become a popular attraction, drawing nearly one million visitors in their first year. The sculptures pay homage to the heavy horses that played a vital role in Scottish industry and economy, serving as proud equine guardians at the eastern gateway of the Forth and Clyde Canal.
