The Kelpie Heads, Dundee

Wasn't it terrific to see the 15 foot high scale replicas of The Kelpies by Andy Scott in Dundee City Square during its tour of Scotland.  The real heads will flank the entrance to Helix Park in Falkirk and will be awe inspiring to see.  Even more so at night, as apparently they will be lit from within, there's even talk that it may be possible to install a lift to allow the heads to be used as a viewing platform.  


It would be fabulous to have something so impressive at the entrance to the new waterfront.  I know the We Dundee site had a few suggestions for bringing back the Arch, but something more up to date reflecting both the history of the waterfront and the modernity of the V&A building would be great.  I'm sure for the right idea, something representational with mass appeal, we could raise sufficient public subscription to fund it.
