The two enormous steel horse-heads known as the Kelpies are situated between the Scottish towns of Grangemouth and Falkirk. They form the eastern portal to the Forth and Clyde Canal, which meets the River Carron here, and are adjacent to the M9 motorway. The height of each head is 30 meters (98 feet). Sculptor Andy Scott created the sculptures, which depict kelpies, and they were finished in October 2013. In April 2014, there was an unveiling event. The Helix is a parks area that surrounds the sculptures.When Scottish Canals started The Helix project in 2005, they chose the name to honor the legendary transformational creatures that have the stamina and strength of ten horses. As the ancestors of the heavy horse of Scottish industry and economy, the Kelpies pulled the coalships, ploughs, barges, and wagons that molded the Falkirk region's topography.The 30 m (98 ft) high, 300 tonne Kelpies are made of structural steel with stainless steel cladding. June 2013 saw the start of construction, which was finished by October 2013. On November 27, 2013, there was a topping out ceremony.As part of the renovated Kelpies Hub, the Kelpies are situated on opposite side of a specially built lock and basin. The forms are inspired by Clydesdale (draught) horses.

One of Scotland's biggest and most significant castles in terms of history and architecture is Stirling Castle, which is situated in Stirling. The castle is situated on top of an intrusive crag that is a component of the geological structure known as Stirling Sill. It has a strong defensive posture because sheer cliffs around it on three sides. It has been a significant fortification in the area from ancient times due to its advantageous location, which protects what was, until the 1890s, the farthest downstream crossing of the River Forth.The majority of the castle's main structures are from the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. The town's outside defenses originate from the early eighteenth century, although a few buildings from the fourteenth century still stand. Stirling Castle, which was both a palace and a fortification, was one of the most frequently utilized of the numerous Scottish royal palaces prior to the country's union with England. Mary, Queen of Scots, was crowned in Stirling in 1542, and other Scottish monarchs were born or passed away there as well.Stirling fortress has been under siege at least eight times, including during the Wars of Scottish Independence. The most recent siege was in 1746, when Bonnie Prince Charlie made a failed attempt to seize the fortress. Currently under the management of Historic Environment Scotland, Stirling Castle is a Scheduled Ancient Monument.

Scotland's Edinburgh is home to the famous Edinburgh Castle. It is situated on Castle Rock, which has been inhabited by people since the Iron Age at the latest. Since Malcolm III's rule in the eleventh century, a royal castle has stood on the rock, and it remained a royal palace until 1633. The castle's residential use began to wane in the 15th century, and by the 17th century, its primary function was that of a military fortress. Since the early 19th century, its significance as a component of Scotland's national history has been acknowledged more and more, and during the past 150 years, numerous restoration projects have been undertaken.In addition to being a royal residence, Edinburgh Castle has also functioned as a military castle, a mint, a prison, an arsenal, a treasury, a national archive, and the home of the Honours of Scotland, or Scottish regalia. From the 14th-century Wars of Scottish Independence until the 1745 Jacobite uprising, the castle, one of the most significant fortresses in the Kingdom of Scotland, was embroiled in numerous historical conflicts. It claims to be "the most besieged place in Great Britain and one of the most attacked in the world" after a 2014 study found 26 sieges during its 1,100-year existence.Few of the current structures date back to the Lang Siege in 1573, when cannon bombardment largely devastated the medieval defenses. The most prominent exceptions are the Royal Palace, the Great Hall in the early 16th century, and St Margaret's Chapel in the early 12th century, which is thought to be Edinburgh's oldest structure [5]. The National War Museum and the Scottish National War Memorial are located within the castle. Even though the castle is now mostly used for administrative and ceremonial purposes, the British Army is still in charge of certain of its features. Together with the Royal Scots museum, the castle serves as the regimental headquarters for both the Royal Regiment of Scotland and the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards.  

Kilt Rock Waterfall, also known as Mealt Falls, is a genuinely remarkable waterfall. The water of Loch Mealt plunges straight into the Atlantic Ocean from a height of 55 meters, over the Kilt Rock cliffs. Water from the Loch Mealt, which originates in the surrounding hills, feeds the waterfall. Mealt Falls is situated on the Isle of Skye in Scotland (United Kingdom), 24 kilometers north of Portree, along road A855. The Mealt Falls exit is unmissable when traveling on the A855. Even for brief parking, you must pay to use the large (new) lot. The parking lot is just next to the promenade, which offers multiple views of the ocean and the Mealt Falls. The best vantage point is 10–20 meters above the waterfall, where you can see full 55 meters of the Mealt Falls.The outflow of Loch Mealt, which plunges over precipitous cliffs and plummet 55 meters to the rocky shore below, straight into the sea, is what creates the Mealt fall. Mealt Falls is a significant animal habitat as well. Seabirds like razorbills and guillemots find a home among the rocks and cliffs. Salmon are also drawn to the waterfall; they swim upstream to breed in Loch Mealt.
