Here comes story of Kellie Castle...


Kellie Castle is another story of symbol of love after Taj Mahal in Agra, India. 


William Kellie Smith came to Malaya in his early age of twenties. He was by hired by an estate owner to help him with the road construction in Perak. He became rich after that and started to bought a jungle land and started his rubber plantation. His business prosper and he married his sweetheart from Scotland and decided to build a castle for his wife. 


Sadly the castle was not completed as Smith died due to pneumonia in a short trip to Portugal. The wife was heartbroken and decided to pack back and return to Scotland and she sold Kellie's Castle.


Kellie's Castle is full of legends. Some said that the spirit of Smith still wandering at the mystery corridor, other may talked about the secret of underground tunnels. However, apart from the two known tunnels, none of them were found. There are even rumors said that Smith's car is parked in one of tunnels but all the tunnels have been sealed off for safety reasons.


In order to travel there, Kellie Castle is located nearby Batu Gajah. Its about 15km from the center of Ipoh.
