I recently went to see the Kelpies, or should I say the amazing sculpture of the Kelpies by Andy Scott late 2013, and it was absolutely breath-taking !
But you could ask, what's a Kelpie ?
But beware…these are malevolent spirits! The kelpie may appear as a tame pony beside a river. It is particularly attractive to children – but they should take care, for once on its back, its sticky magical hide will not allow them to dismount! Once trapped in this way, the kelpie will drag the child into the river and then eat him.
These water horses can also appear in human form. They may materialize as a beautiful young woman, hoping to lure young men to their death. Or they might take on the form of a hairy human lurking by the river, ready to jump out at unsuspecting travellers and crush them to death in a vice-like grip.

But there isn't just the sculpture to see at this place, the Kelpies are part of The Helix, a big park with a pond that I highly recommend to see !
Please tell me if you visit the place and what you thought about it !
