Castle of William Kellie Smith

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Kellie's Castle, a remarkable piece of history nestled in the scenic landscape of Ipoh, Malaysia. This unfinished mansion tells a captivating story of love, ambition, and mystery, making it a must-see attraction for anyone exploring the beautiful region of Ipoh. From the moment I set foot on the castle grounds, I was transported back in time to the early 20th century. The Scottish-style architecture, complete with turrets and towers, is both imposing and alluring, and it's easy to see why Kellie's Castle has become a popular backdrop for photography enthusiasts and Instagrammers alike. As I explored the interior of the castle, I was amazed by the level of preservation and restoration that has been undertaken. The rooms, hallways, and staircases provide a fascinating insight into the life and times of William Kellie Smith, the Scottish planter who commissioned the construction of the castle. The tragic story of his untimely death and the subsequent abandonment of the project adds a touch of intrigue and mystique to the experience.
