The Kelpies in Falkirk, United Kingdom, are a pair of monumental horse-head sculptures that stand 30 meters (98 feet) tall. Created by artist Andy Scott and completed in October 2013, these stunning structures are part of The Helix, a land transformation project. The sculptures pay homage to the heavy horses that once powered Scotland's industry and agriculture. The Kelpies are named after mythological water spirits that have the ability to transform into horses, reflecting the blend of historical and mythical significance.
