No, you get me all wrong, ljc...the first I ever knew of the kelpies was that they were faeries, so I was thankin' ya for that "from the horse's mouth" validation of my earliest memories of it. When I first read of the other explanations, I was a bit devastated...as it was always a benign, good being to me...now do ya 'spose it's any coincidence that the last name I chose, as a kid, to use with Kelpie, was Cameron!?
