Kellie's Castle


Kellie’s castle was once meant to be a home away for William Kellie Smith, who was a Scottish Planter in the 20th century. Being so far away from his hometown, he wanted his new home to be reminiscent of his place back in Scotland.

William Kellie Smith is a very eccentric man who is very popular with his workers which consist of South Indian immigrants. Due to this, he had built a Hindu Shrine for his workers on the castle premises itself as a token of appreciation.

The building has made a name for itself when it is being used as a setting in the 1999 film Anna and The King. Other than that, the castle is also said to be haunted, and is filled with hidden passageways and underground rooms, which adds to its appeal among travelers worldwide.
