Scotland's KELPIES up close - 30m horse statues will take your breath away!

Today let's visit Scotland's Kelpies. These two 30m high horse statues are at Helix Park in Falkirk, Scotland. They are incredible and glitter in the sun.

They opened in 2013 and were designed by Andy Scott as part of the extension of the Forth and Clyde Canal. The structure is built of steel and the outside is covered in hundreds of stainless steel plates at different angles to catch the sun.

The Kelpies are 30 metres high and weigh 300 tonnes each!

We'll go for a walk around the outside of the Kelpies and INSIDE the Kelpies and learn about Andy Scott and the two Clydesdale Horses, Duke and Baron, who inspired the statues.
