Back at the Kelpies, near Stirling, Scotland.
(Kelpie is a water spirit in the form of a horse)
Standing at 100ft tall and weighing more than 300 tonnes each, the magical Kelpies are a man-made feat of engineering by artist Andy Scott.

The magnificent 30m high Kelpies, the world's largest equine sculptures, created in 2013 by Andy Scott and standing close to the Forth and Clyde Canal and the M9 motorway on the edge of Grangemouth. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/falkirk/kelpies/index.html

This wooden owl #sculpture is a relatively recent addition to the #HelixPark in #Falkirk. It lies adjacent to the access road to the main car park near the #Kelpies

Stunning conditions last night at the #Kelpies, #Falkirk.
Driving through the haar on my way home I approached Falkirk and could barely see the Kelpies from the road. I realised that as soon as they were lit up I could be in for a treat. Thankfully I was right @VisitScotland@twitter.com

In #Scotland storms at sea were believed caused by #Kelpies. Usually they appeared as blue men, although they could also assume the fearsome shape of a water horse. Boats could fall into the hands of malevolent kelpiesβunless the skipper could complete rhyming couplets and force the kelpie away from the vessel.

The Blue Men of the Minch or Storm Kelpies are blue-skinned men that inhabit the ocean between mainland Scotland and the northern Inner Hebrides. They conjure storms, sink ships & drown sailors and may be seen jumping in the water or sleeping below the surface. #FairyTaleTuesday
