Kelpies and Falkirk Wheel to light up blue and yellow in support of Ukraine

The Kelpies and The Falkirk Wheel will be lit up in the colours of Ukraine 's flag this evening.

Both will turn blue and yellow in support of people in the country as Russia continue their invasion.

Scottish Canals - which operate the sites - have confirmed the move.

In a statement Catherine Topley, Scottish Canals Chief Executive Officer said: "As part of the global show of solidarity for the people of Ukraine The Kelpies, The Falkirk Wheel and Bowline have been lit up blue and yellow.

"Our thoughts are with the people of Ukraine."

Last night, Downing Street and St Andrew's House in Edinburgh were lit up in the two colours.

Boris Johnson has been told by the Ukraine President his package of sanctions against Vladimir Putin do not go far enough.

It's believed the Prime Minister has pledged further support "in the coming days" after the president updated him on the "terrible developments" in the Ukrainian capital.
