The Kelpies โ Andy Scottโs giant sculpture of the mythical, shape-shifting water-horses. But what is the legend attached to these creatures? And why are they in Falkirk?
Follow my adventures as I travel through the landscapes and history of Scotland. I make quick, quirky and (hopefully) funny content about Scotlandโs past, people and scenery.
I look for the hidden stories, forgotten people and beautiful scenery of Scotland and try to find the funny in the darkness, obscurity and occasional absurdity of our history.

Funnily enough, i have an Australian Kelpie. Itโs a dog breed here in Aus that are extremely smart and energetic. Used commonly on farms ^_^
Amazing! The Kelpies look so beautiful, almost haunting when lit up. ๐๐๐
Great presentation! You're getting good at this! ๐
I love all the great stories and locations you bring to us via your videos. These sculptures are wonderful and I'm glad the larger versions eventually became reality. I also noticed the houseboats on the canal behind you – it would be amazing to have a view of the kelpies while hanging out on the deck, especially in the evening.
Wonder if hgp can trim them ๐
I so want to go on the Falkirk wheel. Can you do that one please .
Is this like the Silkies from the movie โThe Secret of Roan Inishโ? Beautiful sculptures and a wonderful story!
โคabsolutely amazing video Thank you so much Robert Loved this ! The evening video shots were amazing also thanks for including that๐spectacular work!!!!๐
Pretty wonderful. So glad they did the full size version.
No guts, no glory! ๐๐ Another great video. Thanks!!
Beautiful
Kelpies are REAL. ๐๐๐๐
Beautiful โค
Very cool! Art for art's sake! Those things are amazing (especially after dark)! Thanks for this. Keep up the great work.
They are really pretty better than the Gateshead flasher
Wow! I think those are the most beautiful sculptures Iโve ever seen! Thanks ๐ โค
Kelpies, any relation to the sea horse?
This is fascinating! I live in the southwest of the US and we have a similar folk story about staying away from waterways, called La Llrona. Llrona was a beautiful woman who was said to have drowned her own children in a fit of rage. Now she's said to roam waterways wailing for her children, but her wails are said to draw children to her, whereupon she drowns them, just like she did her own children.
Interesting the folk stories we humans make, and how they all end up so similar, across the planet. Vengeful water spirits trying to kill children seems to be a pretty universal thing.
Thank you for the story of the kelpies! The sculpture is absolutely entrancing, especially at night!
Great video. Amazing story. The scenery is so beautiful & those sculptures are amazing. Thanks for sharing.
Wow, they are just gorgeous at night!!
๐ฎ fascinating stories, thank you and many greetings from Germany ๐
How beautiful they are at night. Thank you for this video. Blessings to you.
One of my favorite sculptures.
Those sculptures give me goosebumps. They are absolutely beyond beautiful. Thank you for showing them to us.
10 minute walk from my house! ๐๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ณ๓ ฃ๓ ด๓ ฟ
Wow they are amazing eh ๐…if you don't mind me saying, you have quite a "posh" Scottish accent ๐๐…I don't think we have much of an accent in Perth, although im a half breed..Scottish/ Irish ๐ ๐
They are magnificent! Please more !
And here I am thinking it's a dog…
Beautiful
I live near the Kelpies and the park and canals round them have become a regular meeting place for families and locals as well as tourists. They really are awe inspiring and well worth a visit. The Falkirk Wheel, a rotating boat lift is also well worth a visit.
