Photo: The ruins of Kellie's Castle
About 30
minutes drive from Ipoh, near Batu Gajah, stands the ruins of
Kellie's Castle. It belonged to William Kellie Smith, an
English rubber tycoon during the late 19th century. The
castle was never completed as Smith left for England in the midst
of its construction, and never returned.
Shrouded
in dark mystery, it is believed that Kellie's Castle has hidden
rooms and a secret tunnel. The road which leads to the Castle
follows the contours of the land in dizzying, maze-like fashion,
adding to the mystery and romance of the place.
