The Kelpies are massive steel horse-head sculptures located in Scotland, near Falkirk and Grangemouth. Standing at 30 meters high, they symbolize the strength and endurance of Scottish industry's heavy horses. Designed by sculptor Andy Scott, these impressive structures were completed in 2013 and have become a popular attraction, drawing nearly one million visitors in their first year. The Kelpies are not just statues; they represent the historical significance of horses in shaping the local area and serve as proud guardians of the Forth and Clyde Canal.
