Why YOU Should Go See the Kelpies


Kelpie.  Mystical Scottish creature. Known for lurking near bodies of water, shape shifting and stealing humans for consumption.

Also, the name of 2 very large sculptures located in the middle of Scotland!



The Kelpies are beautiful, magical pieces of art, located in Falkirk, Scotland and are worth every second of the drive to get there.  You see them as you are approaching Falkirk, from the highway, and it is if they use their powers to draw you in.  You can't help but be awed and inspired in their presence.  Our visit was during daytime, but apparently they light up at night which I am sure adds to their fantastical allure.

We had no idea these sculptures existed, but we are SO glad that we did learn about them and took the time to go and visit.

There is as well a Visitors Centre with a cute cafe and gift shop, as well as an area to walk along the nearby canal.

Do not miss the chance to get close to these shape shifters - you will be safe from these ones! ;)
