Die 30 Meter hohen Skulpturen zeigen zwei Wassergeister in Pferdegestalt, die Kelpien. In schottischen Sagen bieten sie Wanderern und anderen Menschen an, sie auf ihrem R\u00fccken \u00fcber Fl\u00fcsse oder Seen zu tragen. Stattdessen ziehen die Kelpien sie in die Tiefe und verspeisen sie. Zum Gl\u00fcck scheinen diese beiden gerade keinen Hunger zu haben. Die Statuen gefallen uns jedenfalls sehr. Vor allem stehen sie passend im Wasser und sind \u00fcber einen Kanal mit Drehbr\u00fccken auch auf dem Wasserweg zu erreichen.<\/p>\n<table border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"10\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"50%\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-15447\" src=\"https:\/\/thomasandgabi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_4154-rotated.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thomasandgabi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_4154-rotated.jpeg 1280w, https:\/\/thomasandgabi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_4154-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/thomasandgabi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_4154-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/thomasandgabi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_4154-768x576.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/td>\n<td width=\"50%\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-15448\" src=\"https:\/\/thomasandgabi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_4171.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thomasandgabi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_4171.jpeg 1280w, https:\/\/thomasandgabi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_4171-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/thomasandgabi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_4171-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/thomasandgabi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_4171-768x576.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"50%\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-15454\" src=\"https:\/\/thomasandgabi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_4226.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thomasandgabi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_4226.jpeg 1280w, https:\/\/thomasandgabi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_4226-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/thomasandgabi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_4226-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/thomasandgabi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_4226-768x576.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/td>\n<td width=\"50%\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-15451\" src=\"https:\/\/thomasandgabi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_4198-2-rotated.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thomasandgabi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_4198-2-rotated.jpeg 1280w, https:\/\/thomasandgabi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_4198-2-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/thomasandgabi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_4198-2-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/thomasandgabi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_4198-2-768x576.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"50%\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-15452\" src=\"https:\/\/thomasandgabi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_4212-2-rotated.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"960\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thomasandgabi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_4212-2-rotated.jpeg 960w, https:\/\/thomasandgabi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_4212-2-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/thomasandgabi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_4212-2-768x1024.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/td>\n<td width=\"50%\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-15453\" src=\"https:\/\/thomasandgabi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_4216-rotated.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"960\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thomasandgabi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_4216-rotated.jpeg 960w, https:\/\/thomasandgabi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_4216-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/thomasandgabi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_4216-768x1024.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Dann fahren wir zum Sterling Castle. Von etwa 1100 bis 1685 war die Burg hoch \u00fcber der Stadt eine der Hauptresidenzen der schottischen K\u00f6nige. Im Laufe der Jahre wurde sie immer wieder von englischen Truppen erobert und von den Schotten zur\u00fcckerobert \u2013 auch wegen ihrer strategisch wichtigen Lage. Die meisten heutigen Geb\u00e4ude stammen aus dem 15. und 16. Jahrhundert. Die Anlage ist riesig! Und ziemlich verwinkelt. \u00dcberall gibt es etwas zu entdecken, und der Ausblick von der Wehrmauer reicht extrem weit. Interessant sind auch die vielen Wandteppiche mit Einhorn-Motiv und das Wappen von Robert I. von Schottland mit einem roten L\u00f6wen auf goldenem Grund. Mit seinen blauen Krallen und der blauen Zunge sieht er praktisch identisch aus wie das alte Wappen der Habsburger. Mit einem feinen Mittagessen im Burg-Caf\u00e9 schliessen wir unseren Besuch ab.<\/p>\n<table border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"10\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"50%\"><img loading=\"lazy\"
