The Helix is a land transformation project to improve the connections between and around 16 communities in the Falkirk area, including the eastern end of the Forth and Clyde Canal, and to regenerate the area near where the canal joins the River Carron. The most visible feature of the development is the two unique equine structures known as The Kelpies, created by artist Andy Scott. The Helix is both a community space and a tourism destination, with locals using the paths daily as well as visitors flocking to visit the Kelpies and experience the Kelpies Tour.
