Kelpies - Ride With Me (3 x PiPs)

Kelpies - Ride With Me  (3 x PiPs)
Kelpies are shape shifting aquatic spirits that often take the form of horses, although they can take human form. They inhabit the rivers and lochs of Scotland and In some tales they lure unsuspecting humans down to the depths to a watery grave.

The Kelpies at Helix Park, Falkirk are fantastic sculptures designed by Andy Scott and were completed in October 2013. They are 30 metres high (100 feet) and were designed to pay homage to Scotland's working horses who used to pull barges along the canals.

These magnificent sculptures dominate the landscape and I understand are beautifully lit at night.

There are also two smaller versions outside of the restaurant and two more at Ardrishaig harbour.

I have added a track called 'Kelpie' by Jethro Tull

a second track is a nod to the shapeshifting kelpie . Here are the Shapeshifters
with Lola's Theme (I'm a Different Person)

That is really nice of you Herb. Yes I am sure that is true. When we arrived th sun was glinting on them nicely but with a darker sky and the right angle they can be quite dramatic. I would have loved to have seen them illuminated at night

Thank you very much Paulo. I am really pleased you like them. I love myths and legends like that of the kelpies, but it is nice they are also a tribute to the working horsses who pulled the canal barges.

Belated HBM, my apologies
