Nice picture Judith. No wonder Alex Salmond wants to break away if they are breeding horses like that north of the border  Mind you the hills will soon be decimated with their gazing or do they eat politicians. I am sure that the whole UK parliament could be fed to them as the current parliamentary occupants talk a load of horse sh!t.

Oops! Not my photo lol. I nicked it from the Kelpies' facebook page, just for the tourism info on this thread. I haven't seen them yet in the "steel" but I definitely will next time I head to Falkirk to visit the rellies.  Will get some of my own piccies then. I think there is some kind of nightly light show planned for them. Some lovely photos on the facebook page. The new park where they live opens mid-April. The sculptures are a tribute to the traditional heavy horse breeds like the Clydesdale in Scotland.

They are certainly on my list to see ....in a few months, but before I need a passport to go there.

Google their websites to see if there are any out of season matches organised for September. You forget Partick Thistle; now that would be an education

Sorry ive been super super busy at work with contract negotiations. I think i need more memory cards . Going to spend a few days in Glasgow and noticed Scottish parliament isn't far from where we are staying in edinburgh so I want to see that especially on the eve of the vote for independence. I want to see local stuff off the beaten path. Someone suggested Surgeons Hall museum in edinburgh also for interesting stuff

Haven't been following this independence thing too closely but does it mean that if independence is granted Charles will be the new King of Scotland?

Of interest at the Parliament when you're there is an exhibition of the Great Tapestry of Scotland (think it will be there till mid-September - google it). Embroiderers from all over Scotland contributed to it to make a Bayeux-style tapestry that tells the history of Scotland from the ice age to the present day. You won't be short of things to do in Edinburgh - just take yourself to the tourist office beside Waverley station in Princes St when you arrive. The Burrell Collection in Glasgow is interesting if you are into art. :)

No I think that it would probably be a republic. If there was to be a monarch someone such as a relative of Bonnie Prince Charlie would need to be traced.
