100-year-old Kellie’s Castle a popular tourist attraction

KELLIE’S Castle was to be the flagship of William Kellie Smith, a young Scot who rose to become a plantation and tin mining tycoon in then Malaya prior to World War 1.

Apart from being the dream home of the Smith family, Kellie’s Castle was also designed to be the venue for the meeting of aristocrats to wine and dine, have garden parties and play tennis.
