We visited the kelpies as part of the holiday itinerary with lochs and glens, towering above the forth and clyde canal they stand 30mtrs tall constructed of steel, designed by Andy Scott he moddeled the sculptures on two Clydesdale horses Duke and Baron. These are an amazing sight to see it was definitely the highlight of the holiday, spectacular construction well worth the visit if you are in the area. It's all on the flat so walking around is easy and the visitors center has a café and information and gift shop also the horsebox café has a small gift shop.
