Beautiful and interesting

I had always wanted to visit Kellie's Castle but was advised against it as it is reputed to be haunted by the ghost of it's owner, William Kellie Smith. As it was a long weekend, we reached Kellie's Castle rather early and had the place somewhat to ourselves before other local tourists came. We explored every nook and corner of the castle as well and walked upto the highest rooftop. The view was amazing at that point. It is worth a visit and would visit again, maybe with lesser tourist crowd the next time. RM5 per entrance. I think it should just be free or cheaper or at least comes with a free cold drink after that. The history behind the unfinished castle is interesting, maybe for someone who is curious enough about the past stories. Not too sure about those who don't though. Scenery throughout is really nice. I went with 3 of my friends during my sem break around 4pm. The weather was hot and sunny, perfect for capturing some really nice pictures. Kellie's Castle has an interesting but sad history, and if in the area is certainly worth a visit. The best way to get there is by car, or alternatively you can get a train to Batu Gajah and then a taxi to Kellie's Castle - it's too far to walk from Batu Gajah.
