Experience the captivating 2014 BBC/Caledonia TV documentary Creating the Kelpies, directed by Les Wilson, which chronicles sculptor Andy Scott's extraordinary eight-year journey to bring the world’s largest equine sculptures to life.

From concept and laser-scanned maquettes to full-scale engineering, the film dives deep into the creative and technical challenges—covering design, fabrication, and installation—from steel mills in Hartlepool, Corby, and Sheffield to sophisticated engineering by Atkins. Discover how funding hurdles, the 2008 recession, and colossal logistical feats were overcome in pursuit of an awe-inspiring vision. 

See how these iconic 30 m, 300-tonne steel horse heads, standing sentinel at Falkirk’s canal gateway, pay homage to Scotland’s industrial and equine heritage, fusing myth with modern artistry. 

Celebrate this inspiring blend of art, engineering, mythology, and community spirit—a perfect evening for art lovers, history enthusiasts, and curious minds alike!
