Points of Interest
Stop At: The Kelpies & The Helix
M9, Falkirk
We will walk among giants as we get up close to the magnificent Kelpies. Enjoy the old Scottish stories of these mythical creatures and visit the area where the Gentle Giants worked on the land. The Kelpies are based on a Scottish Folktale, told to keep young children away from any dangerous water edge but they are also a tribute to the Clydesdale horses that worked in 3 industries that are prevalent in this area. The 98 foot high statues are a fitting tribute to the "Gentle Giants" and the detail can only be appreciated when you walk right up to them. There is a visitor centre where the guests can pick up souvenirs and stop for a comfort break.
