Model Kelpies at the Falkirk Wheel

I have added 'Kelpie' by Jethro Tull. I hasten to add that the link was kindly sent to me by Boarischa so not my idea. My thanks Boarischa both for the link and introducing me to this song. I am really pleased and appreciate it.

Thank you very much George. Really appreciated. These small replicas of the Kelpies are at the edge of the car park above the Falkirk Wheel and I really thought they were lovely. We hadn't see the actual Kelpies before this so I wasn't expecting them to be so big and impressive. HFF and have a good weekend

Ecobird club has replied to Percy Schramm club
Thank you very much Percy. Really appreciated. The 'bridge' in the background is the Falkirk Wheel, a really amazing type of boat lift. These small replicas of the Kelpies are only a fraction of the size of the real thing, - but it was good to see them here. HFF and have a lovely weekend.

Lovely to see those two Falkirk icons in a single image. I have photographed the Kelpie Maquettes at several locations in Scotland. HFF and a great weekend to you.
5 years ago.
Ecobird club has replied to Joe, Son of the Rock club
Many thanks Joe. Really appreciated. That is interesting to know - my husband thought the fixings at the corners of the base were for lifting them. Are they moved around to other locations or are there more than one pair do you know? A belated HFF and enjoy your Bank Holiday weekend

Joe, Son of the Rock club has replied to Ecobird club
I have photographed the Kelpie Maquettes in Edinburgh and at two locations in Glasgow. I had the pics on Panoramio, which is sadly no more. I know the maquettes have been displayed in St Andrews, but I missed them there. There is a Kelpies Maquettes webpage. Cheers, Joe

Many thanks Boarischa and thank you for the link. A great song and new Jethro Tull song to me. I had no time to find music to go with my photo but this would be an excellent match. Hope you don;t mind but I added it with my thanks to you noted. Looks like I might be buying some more music now too!! HFF and have a good weekend

Thank you very much Pat. Really appreciated. I am not normally a 'practical' person and tend to like things pretty, charming or elegant but the Falkirk Wheel blew me away! The Kelpies also captured my imagination. It was one of the best days out I have ever had. HFF and have a good weekend

These are such beautiful and interesting sculptures, Carol. I've never heard of "kelpies" before.

This song surely fits and is new to me. I always enjoy hearing some new Jethro Tull. :)
5 years ago.
Ecobird club has replied to Karen's Place club
Thank you very much Karen. Really appreciated. They are massive horses' heads, like these smaller versions but 30m tall, created by Andy Scott. They have a door at the base and you can go inside them. Kelpies are mythical equine creatures said to inhabit the lochs of Scotland.
Boarischa kindly suggested the music, - I am pleased you enjoyed it.
