Kellie's Castle is an uncompleted, historic mansion located in Batu Gajah, Malaysia. Built by Scottish planter William Kellie Smith, the structure was intended to be a grand residence for his family. Construction began in 1915, but was halted in 1926 when Smith died of pneumonia during a trip to Portugal. The castle, blending Scottish, Moorish, and Indian architectural styles, remains a popular tourist attraction, shrouded in mystery and local legends.
