An iconic Falkirk landmark has reached a massive visitor milestone.
One million people have visited the Helix Park and Kelpies over the past 12 months.
It now ranks among the top ten free visitor attractions in the country.
The local authority also says the Kelpies have provided a financial return almost eight times greater than their initial cost.
The landmark opened for the first time in 2013.
Falkirk Council Leader Cecil Meiklejohn said: “Reaching one million visitors in just a year is an outstanding achievement and testament to the lasting appeal of The Helix, along with the iconic Kelpies.
“This success reflects our commitment to creating a vibrant, accessible, and inspiring public space that benefits both the local community and Scotland’s tourism industry.”
