About "Kelpies"

by Bianca Hinnen

About the artwork

Kelpies are water spirits who live near water and swamps. The stories about kelpies vary a lot. In one story, the kelpie is a friendly horse on which people may take a ride. In another, the kelpie lures children to the water's edge only to devour them. For centuries, these stories have been told to children to keep them away from the water. For parents a way to keep children from drowning, for children a way to avoid being eaten by a kelpie.
They were created by Scottish sculptor Andy Scott and named Kelpies. The horse breed Clydesdale was the "model" for the 30-metre-high sculptures, on which Andy worked for no less than 8.5 years. The choice of sculptures of horses was quickly made, as horses played a major role in the industrial development of the area. As the sculptures were given a place on the banks of the Forth & Clyde Canal, the link with a kelpie was quickly made and coming up with a name was not exactly a challenge.

World's largest horse sculptures
The Kelpies are the largest horse sculptures in the world, weighing more than 300 tonnes each. Both heads consist of 464 steel plates, none of which is the same shape. Each head consists of 18,000 parts and the foundation is deeper than the sculptures are tall.
