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.
