"The works of art, created by artist Andy Scott, have become iconic on the landscape after being modelled on real-life icons of times gone by — Clydesdale horses Duke and Baron. The Kelpies represent the lineage of the heavy horse of Scottish industry and economy, pulling the wagons, ploughs, barges and coalships that shaped the geographical layout of Falkirk."

i went there once.
it was very windy between the two horses.
my hat blew off and into the pool.
when i went to retrieve my hat, i also fell in the pool.
(do not worry: i got out.)
it started raining shortly thereafter, though, so i just looked like i had forgotten my umbrella.

This caught me off guard. Uncommon to see posts about Scotland but a place that is 10 minutes from my house is not expected at all.
