The Kelpies are 30-metre high horse-head sculptures, standing next to a new extension to the Forth and Clyde Canal, and near River Carron, in The Helix, a new parkland project built to connect 16 communities in the Falkirk Council Area, Scotland. The sculptures were designed by sculptor Andy Scott and were completed in October 2013. The sculptures form a gateway at the eastern entrance to the Forth and Clyde canal, and the new canal extension built as part of The Helix land transformation project. The Kelpies are a monument to horse powered heritage across Scotland.
This strikes me as a Really Bad Idea.

1. I LOVE THEM.
2. @thebibliosphere scotland has the best public sculpture ideas by which I mean, at what time do the giant flesh-eating horses emerge from the ground to bring death and misery to Scotland and will they sell tickets?
looks like Denver’s been soundly unseated in the “ominous fucking equine statue” department.
Have they killed their creator yet? Because that adds extra ominous points to the Denver Murder Horse that can’t be beat just by being giant and looming.
Seriously, until these have actually eaten someone, Bluecifer is still ahead.
yeah, Bluecifer was my first thought too
no look you don’t understand.
We know exactly what kelpies are. We just don’t give a fuck if it freaks you out.
We’re a land of mist and mountains, landscape where you turn around three times and you’re lost forever. We know damn well that we’re not the scariest, or smartest, or most dangerous things sharing this island.
So we fucking respect those that were here before us. We avoid the cairns and standing stones that feel unwelcoming. We mistrust the easier path, too smooth, too inviting. We teach our children to stay clear of the water, still surface in a howling gale.
And by God, we will let the kelpies know that we know them and fear them, lest they try and punish us for taming the wild waters.
