The Kelpies at Loch Muick
Located within the Balmoral Estate lies the beautiful Loch Muick, surrounded by stunning hills and roaming wildlife, however not is all well along the bonnie banks of Loch Muick. Lurking in the depths of the loch lives the shapeshifting Kelpies. They appear as beautiful water horses that can be seen from a distance, grazing on the seaweed that has drifted a shore, but as you get closer the horses seem to just vanish into the loch. It is said that you should never walk close to the banks of the loch if you are to see this creature. As this is them preparing to lure you into the depths of the loch where you will spend the rest of eternity, never to return to land again.
