The Kelpies sculptures were open to the public in April last year.  The Kelpies and The John Muir Way will also be unveiled by Kelpie artist Andy Scott. The artwork will be on display inside The Kelpies for three weeks afterwards for tour guests to admire.

The Helix Park project has transformed 865 acres of land between Falkirk and Grangemouth.
