Iconic Kelpies visit quad

Mini versions of the world’s largest equine sculptures are visiting the heart of the University.

The three metre-high maquettes of The Kelpies, the rearing heads of two Clydesdale horses, will be in Old College Quadrangle and at the Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies at Easter Bush in October and November.

The versions are an exact 1:10 replica of the 30 metre-high sculptures located at Falkirk’s Helix Parkland.

World tour

Created by artist Andy Scott, the Kelpies opened to the public in April 2014.

The maquettes arrive at the University after travelling the world. They have been on display in New York’s Bryant Park, Chicago’s Grant Park, and at last year’s Ryder Cup in Gleneagles.

The Kelpies will be in Old College 3-29 October 2015 and at the Vet School 1-30 November 2015.
