Kelpies

Great to see all the comments and questions! 
Some answers to your questions on the Kelpies...
Kelpies are a mythical water beast that transforms from horse to human with the strength of 10 men!
They were built to represent the importance of horses in history in Scotland where they have been used in industry to pull wagons,ploughs, barges and coal ships. They are made out of steel with stainless steel cladding and each one weighs 300 tonnes!  I haven't seen them at night but they are all lit up with different colored lights.

  1. Hey Mrs Flynn,

    So I have learnt something today! Kelpies ... who would've thought!!
    I have been doing my homework and look forward to some more selfies about other great famous landmarks in Glasgow.

    All the best to Gemma and the team for their final pool play.

    Have you managed to see any of the cycling successes?
