Kelpie.

The reason for this trip was the Falkirk Wheel, However who could resist a visit to "The Kelpies", this being one of them.

I bought the inevitable souvenir catalogue, wherein lurked some photos of other works by the same sculptor (Andy Scott) and, by an odd coincidence, we saw one of them on the way home "tomorrow" - just too late for it to be tomorrow's Blip.
This one....
"Nicknamed by one publication the "Angel of the Nauld" as a tongue-in-cheek reference to the "Angel of the North" at Gateshead, this steel sculpture was created by award winning public artist Andy Scott, in his Maryhill studio in Glasgow, and galvanised to protect it against the elements by Cumbernauld Company "Highland Colour Coaters." Now officially named "Arria", the 10 metre high finished "Angel of the Nauld" sculpture sits on its site overlooking the North bound carriageway of the M80 north of Auchenkilns."

Out of interest / for future refs I've stuck in the 2 originals prior to my attempt at "Glue & screw"
