The Kelpies Walk, Scottish Countryside 4K

All support is hugely appreciated and it helps me keep the channel going!

No talking, just walking. Exploring the Scottish Countryside. A nice gentle walk around the Kelpies, magnificent equine sculptures located in The Helix parkland near Falkirk, Scotland. They stand at the eastern entrance of the Forth and Clyde Canal, connecting Grangemouth and Falkirk. The Kelpies were designed by Scottish sculptor Andy Scott and were completed in October 2013. They were officially opened to the public in April 2014. Each sculpture is 30 meters (98 feet) tall and weighs 300 tons, making them the largest equine sculptures in the world. The Kelpies are inspired by the mythical water horses of Scottish folklore known as kelpies, which are said to possess the strength and endurance of 100 horses. They pay homage to the horse-powered heritage of Scotland, especially in relation to the heavy horses that once pulled barges along Scotland’s canals and worked in the local industry. A beautiful walk! Do enjoy :)

About Dave's Walks
Hi there, I‘m Dave! I've lived in the English Countryside all my life, and I love it! I enjoy walking, and couldn’t help but notice just how beautiful the UK can be away from the cities. I found myself inspired and decided to get some camera equipment and make some walking videos so I can share my walks of the beautiful countryside with everyone!
I mainly focus on small towns, villages, picturesque landscapes, rolling hills and mountains, forests and canals, all along the coastlines in England, Scotland, Wales, and who knows maybe one day further afar!

I upload every 5 days 11am GMT (3am PST) (6am EST) (4.45pm IST) (8.45pm ACST)

I use the free version of Davinci Resolve 16 to do some really basic editing. Mainly making sure the sky isn't over exposed. It's from Camera straight to YouTube. No cuts, no fancy business, no talking, just walking.
