  • These at 30 meters high are the largest public works of art in Scotland. They are the creation of Andy Scott, cost £5 million to build and opened to the public in April 2014. They are attractive in daylight with sun shining on the stainless steel plates and also at night when the internal lighting takes over in periodically changing colours.

    Drove past this sculpture in the middle of the night without any knowledge of it, it scared the soul out of me lol. But when i see it again, it is quite the spectacle.

      Yeah, it does look spooky, especially at night. Imagine standing around it. It would overwhelm you.

    Superb informative coverage of the Kelpies, thank you. I’ve never seen them at night but have had the privilege of visiting the inside. This video is a wonderful piece of work. ATB Terry

    Has any of the royal family even bothered to come to promote these magnificent horses? They are so unheard of its crazy. These should be on Scottish bank notes also land marks like this should be promoted. I know it was locally but the only reason I know they exist is I have a boat there. Otherwise I would never know they were there. Tell people about these. . The art galleries should have a massive print of them.
