Standing majestically at the side of the M9, between the Scottish towns of Falkirk and Grangemouth, are Scotland's answer to Antony Gormley's Angel of the North. The 98-feet-high (30m) horse head sculptures, known as The Kelpies, are part of the 350-acre Helix Park, and are the world's largest equine structures.

The brainchild of Glasgow sculptor Andy Scott, the steel heads were officially completed in 2014 and are one of the UK's tallest pieces of public art. Located beside the Forth & Clyde Canal, The Kelpies are a tribute to the working Clydesdale horses and the area's industrial heritage.
