Andy Scott: The Kelpies

 

The Kelpies are an amazing example of Public Sculpture by Scottish Artist Andy ScottĀ using inspiration from the surrounding environment. What seems like an every day part of farming or rural life, the working horse, assumes a completely different aspect when scale is increased and placed in a public environment. The Kelpies have become a very popular visitor attraction in Central Scotland and stand proud against the bright blue sky on a Spring day. Scott combines both Traditional and Contemporary materials and methods of manufacture working in a scale from 3 to 30 metres.
