Helix The Horse

The Helix Project.

This is a 1-10th Scale of what should be a working part of a new canal boat lift in Grangemeouth, Falkirk.

There will be two 100ft-high equine sculptures which will function as a boat lift
The artwork depicting horses' heads is the main part of the Helix Project, which aims to transform more than 300 hectares of unused land over six years.

The Big Lottery Fund grant will fund a new section of canal, linking the Forth and Clyde Canal into the Forth Estuary.

The grant is part of the Lottery's Living Landmarks programme.
The award is the first of its kind in Scotland through the programme and the largest ever awarded by the Big Lottery Fund to an individual project.

Designed by the equine sculptor Andy Scott and based on the mythical Scots legend of water-based spirits or kelpies, project backers believe they will be the largest equine sculptures in the world.
