Kelpie Sculptures at Helix Falkirk
Queen Elizabeth II Canal Opening
The Queen has unveiled a plaque officially naming Scotland’s newest section of canal after her, reports BBC Scotland.
The canal was built as part of the £43m Helix project near Falkirk, which includes the famous Kelpies sculptures.
The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh arrived at the Kelpies on board a barge after leading a flotilla of boats along a newly-finished section of a waterway.
H.M. The Queen also had a private audience with the Canadian Prime Minister in Edinburgh. Justin Trudeau is in the Scottish capital as part of his first official visit to Scotland. Kelpies creator artist Andy Scott discussed his work with the Queen during the event. She asked him about the history of the project and the relationship with the Clydesdale horses.
The Duke of Edinburgh was particularly interested in the internal structure, the engineering, and the fabrication.
