23 April 2023 The Kelpies

Sunday 230423
Charlie Oot&aboot at the kelpies
These wonderful structures of Clydesdale horses called “Duke & Baron “
Standing at 100ft tall and weighing more than 300 tonnes each, the magical Kelpies are a man-made wonder and a feat of engineering. The works of art, created by artist Andy Scott, have become iconic on the landscape after being modelled on real-life icons of times gone by - Clydesdale horses
Duke and Baron.
The Kelpies represent the lineage of the heavy horse of Scottish industry and economy, pulling the wagons, ploughs, barges and coalships that shaped the geographical layout of Falkirk.
The Kelpies’ name reflects the mythological transforming beasts that possess the strength and endurance of 100 horses; a quality that’s analogous with the transformational change of the area’s landscapes, endurance of its inland waterways and the strength of its communities. You can visit The Kelpies free of charge any time of the day, 365 days of the year due to their prime location in The Helix park. : there’s also a cafe / shop / toilets
Parking all night for £10 at bottom car park : it’s well worth a visit , not far from the Falkirk wheel , the only revolving boat lift in the world: which will be my next stop :
Thanks for watching Charlie Oot&aboot
