The Kelpies - Andy Scott's giant sculpture of the mythical, shape-shifting water-horses. But what is the legend attached to these creatures? And why are they in Falkirk?
Follow my adventures as I travel through the landscapes and history of Scotland. I make quick, quirky and (hopefully) funny content about Scotland's past, people and scenery.
I look for the hidden stories, forgotten people and beautiful scenery of Scotland and try to find the funny in the darkness, obscurity and occasional absurdity of our history.

Love to hear the stories. As a horse lover of Scottish ancestry I’ve always loved the kelpies stories even if they are morbid. I wonder how many children the stories saved from drowning

In Slavic lore, we have water spirits called the “rusalki” who are the unfortunate spirits of unwanted, single pregnant women who were drowned by their lovers, unwanted illegitimate babies, and other similarly unlucky people. They’re lonely and want company in the watery depths. There’s even an opera about one of them called, “Rusalka.”

This is fascinating! I live in the southwest of the US and we have a similar folk story about staying away from waterways, called La Llrona. Llrona was a beautiful woman who was said to have drowned her own children in a fit of rage. Now she's said to roam waterways wailing for her children, but her wails are said to draw children to her, whereupon she drowns them, just like she did her own children. Interesting the folk stories we humans make, and how they all end up so similar, across the planet. Vengeful water spirits trying to kill children seems to be a pretty universal thing. Thank you for the story of the kelpies! The sculpture is absolutely entrancing, especially at night!
