In this video, we dive into the story behind the Kelpies, the towering horse-head sculptures that have become iconic symbols of Scotland. Located in The Helix park near Falkirk, these 30-meter-tall masterpieces were designed by Scottish artist Andy Scott and are a stunning tribute to both the country's industrial past and its rich folklore.
The Kelpies are named after mythical water spirits in Scottish legend, known as shape-shifting horses that haunt the lochs and rivers. However, Scott's sculptures represent a more grounded inspiration-the heavy horses that once powered Scotland's industry, pulling barges along the canals and working the fields. These horses, with their immense strength and endurance, were the lifeblood of the nation's agricultural and industrial revolution, and the Kelpies celebrate their critical role in shaping Scotland's history.
Each sculpture weighs over 300 tons and is constructed from steel, with a unique cladding that gives them their shimmering, silver appearance. The design process was meticulous, with Scott working through several models and iterations before arriving at the final concept. The sculptures were completed in October 2013 and officially unveiled in April 2014, quickly becoming one of Scotland’s most visited attractions.
The Kelpies aren't just artistic marvels; they're also feats of engineering. The construction involved intricate planning and collaboration between artists, engineers, and architects. Each Kelpie is made up of thousands of individual steel plates, carefully assembled to create the striking appearance of two horses’ heads emerging from the earth. The sculptures are also illuminated at night, casting an ethereal glow that makes them even more captivating.
But the Kelpies are more than just a visual spectacle-they carry deep cultural significance. They stand at the gateway to the Forth and Clyde Canal, a location that ties them directly to Scotland’s industrial heritage. The canal was once a vital artery for trade and transportation, and the Kelpies serve as a reminder of the power and resilience that drove the country’s development.
Visitors to The Helix can enjoy guided tours that offer insights into the creation of the Kelpies, the history of the area, and the myths that inspired them. The park itself is a popular destination for families and tourists, featuring walking and cycling paths, a lagoon, and plenty of green space for relaxation and recreation.
In this video, we take you on a virtual tour of these magnificent sculptures, exploring their history, design, and cultural impact. We'll delve into the mythology of the Kelpie, share behind-the-scenes details of their construction, and discuss what makes them such a beloved symbol of Scotland. Whether you’re interested in art, history, or simply love discovering new places, this video will give you a deeper appreciation of the Kelpies and the story they tell.
