The Kelpies, Falkirk – Scotland’s Giants of Steel
The Kelpies & The Helix的点评
点评:Seeing The Kelpies up close is one of those “wow” moments you don’t forget. Standing 30 metres tall, these enormous horse-head sculptures gleam against the sky — a striking tribute to Scotland’s industrial heritage and the working horses that once powered the canals.
We spent time walking around their base, admiring how the light shifts across the steel plates, and watching the reflections dance in the water below. They’re even more magical at sunset when they start to glow, and at night when they’re beautifully lit from within.
There’s a lovely park surrounding the sculptures, with paths, water features, and a visitor centre where you can learn more about their creation. It’s an easy stop from the motorway and one of those places that’s just as impressive for kids as it is for adults.
Modern, majestic, and unmistakably Scottish — The Kelpies are an absolute must-see.
