Equitecture

After driving past them on the M9 countless times over the last few years, today we finally went to see The Kelpies up close.
And they do not disappoint!

Learned that each of the sculptures has a name, from the Clydesdale horses that sculptor Andy Scott encountered in Glasgow's Pollok Park; Head Down is Duke and Head Up is Baron.

Chose the main image to illustrate their size, and their dominance of the landscape. Truly a new icon for Scotland.
Also a couple of different angles on the Extras, plus a view from the inside of Duke - my title for it is 'Eye Spy'.

"The Kelpies stand testament to the past, to craftsmanship, engineering and skill. They are a declaration of intent for the future of Scotland.
The materials of the sculptures are deliberately those of Scotland's former industrial heartland, steel construction on an architectural scale: equitecture"  -  Andy Scott, sculptor.
