If you are of a certain age, when mention is made of a severed horse head, the thought is of the 1972 Godfather movie's iconic scene where a movie executive wakes up to find the bloodied severed head of his favorite horse in bed with him. Well, we just had a double horse head experience. Fortunately, it did not involve blood or a bed. It was two horse heads, actually.
We took a day trip to see the largest equine sculptures in the world (see photo). These sculptures tower 100 feet over the Forth and Clyde Canal. Built in 2014, each head is comprised of 150 tons of stainless steel. Visitor center, cafeteria, large car park. Lots of people were there; apparently the word is out about this site. Quite impressive.
