Two replicas of the steel Kelpies that stand on the banks of the Forth and Clyde Canal have been unveiled in a New York park.
The 15ft high models have been created in the city's Bryant Park, which houses the New York Public Library.
They have been installed there as New York prepares to celebrate Scotland Week.
One of the horses is seen rearing up, while the other is at rest.
The original 100ft sculptures at the Helix Parkland in Falkirk were created by Glasgow-based designer Andy Scott.
He made them from hundreds of small pieces of steel plate painstakingly welded together and Inspiration came from the Clydesdale horses that, for centuries, pulled boats and cargo along the canal towpaths.
Andy said: "The Kelpies began their US tour in summer of 2012 in Chicago, then spent time at Purdue University in Indiana, and it is with great pleasure that I debut them in New York City at Bryant Park.
"I am honoured to take part in a celebration of Scotland's innovation and creativity during Scotland Week.
Scottish Government Cabinet Secretary for Culture and External Affairs, Fiona Hyslop, said: "The Kelpies creatively illustrate how inspiration can be drawn from Scotland's history and heritage to exhibit a modern piece of art."
