3. The Kelpies in Scotland During a Thunderstorm
Found in: Scotland’s Falkirk Est. Building cost: $6.37 million*
Standing at a height of one hundred feet, these sculptures of horses’ heads dominate Grangemouth, Scotland. The Kelpies were constructed as a tribute to Scotland’s working horses. These horses pulled boats along the nation’s canals, but now they work the fields and farms.

The construction of the Kelpies required a significant amount of time and money, $6.37 million, but the effort paid off because the statues are now a popular tourist destination, drawing five million tourists annually. These statues will be the biggest horse sculptures in the world as of 2023.
