The Kellie Castle was built by William Kellie Smith a decade ago in a small town in Malaysia and this place is now being converted into tourist attraction :)

That's why I didn't climb up that staircase (kia-si mah..)

Greetings and happy photo hunting, my fellow Malaysian! :)
ReplyDeletewah, the last time i go there was 17 yrs ago....dunno wat happen to the castle now...
ReplyDeleteI come from that place lor.. I am a BG girl... Kellie's Castle used to be very famous.. Now okie la..
ReplyDeleteytsl,
ReplyDeleteHi ytsl:)
Thanks for dropping by.
monkticon,
17 years ago.. means u r still a primary school kid? ;)
I will update u with pictures of the Kellie Castle soon (I hope so, if I'm not lazy lah)..
I went there in October last year.
wenn,
Woo... itu BG lu punya hometown ah?
I went there in October last year..
After visiting Kellie Castle, we went to Ipoh for the jalan-jalan cari makan trip :P
Nice pic! U got the talent la
ReplyDeleteI've been there last yr! ;)
ReplyDeleteThat castle is beautiful... one of its kind in Malaysia... In fact, it's really really rare to find castles resembling European ones here. Just a pity they din take good care of it. I see dusts, dirty walls, muddy floors etc inside it. They shud preserve this historical building and maintain it regularly. The exterior is majestic nonetheless.
And the steps look so nice! :D
Yala BG gua mia hometown lor.. Tapi hor sekarand move to the Menglembu area lor with loads of moo moo lor!!!
ReplyDeletekenny,
ReplyDeleteThanks :)
Oh yeah, today is your birthday. Wish u many happy returns :)
kyh,
Cool.. Hehehe, did we visit the place at the same time? LOL... I saw few chinese youngsters visiting the place when I was there last year :P
One good thing ..is at least I didn't see any rubbish/ wrappers/ drinking bottles/ cans on the floors ;)
Thanks. Did u take any photos during your previous visit?
wenn,
Oooh.. sekarang sudah migrate ke Moo-Moo land.. Can make more MooLah lah.. Kkkkkkkk... and can eat more Kacang :P
I passed by Kellie's Castle - does that count?
ReplyDeletenice photograph, Doc! you should try selling some of these and earn some money...
Welcome to the Photo Hunters!! Great to have you on board too :-)
ReplyDeleteCreepy-looking steps eh? Shy to say that I haven't been to Kellie's Castle la.
Welcome to the Hunt! Those are some very interesting steps but I'm pretty sure I wouldn't want to try to walk down or up them!
ReplyDeletewelcome to photohunt :) pls do a post on kelly's castle when u feel like it. i heard abt it but never seen it. i love the steps.
ReplyDeleteThese steps have seen many feet. Well worn, loved and used. Happy weekend.
ReplyDeleteThe moss laden stairs looks great!
ReplyDeletemay,
ReplyDeletejust passing by? aiyak..
never mind loh, since u can visit it virtually.. tat do counts :P
Thanks. Try selling the photos ah? Nobody wants to buy leh.. Might be Ah Boy will kesian me & buy but he dun have any $$$ :P
bernard,
Hehehe, I have thought of joining it earlier on but lazy.. Glad I finally take the "step" ;)
o.O? U should pay Kellie Castle a visit if u plan to visit Ipoh in the future ;)
linda,
Thanks Linda :)
Yeah, the staircase has been abandoned for ages, hence the thick moss ;)
beng beng,
ReplyDeleteThanks Beng Beng. Okie, I will find times to write & post photos of Kellie Castle one of these days.. Might be one of the weekends :)
incog & nito,
The abandoned staircase...
I wonder how many people stepped on it in the past?
lynn,
And it gives the place a unique look. I love the atmosphere there in daytime, but I won't want to stay there at night. I guess the place will be spooky in the dark.
Intriguing picture -- mystery, wonder, history. Great choice for today!
ReplyDeleteWelcome to Photo Hunt.
ReplyDeleteIf I'm not mistaken, there is another spiral steps leading down to some underground room. That was really scarry!
Those are neat. If only they could talk about the folks who have tread those stairs. Where is Kelly Castle?
ReplyDeletebarbara,
ReplyDeleteThanks Barbara. The castle was almost 100 year old, built in 1915.
hijackqueen,
Thanks, hijack queen :)
Yeah, there's a narrow spiral staircase there, but not to the underground room. I took the spiral steps up and I have photos of it too. Might be I will post the photo up when I write
a proper post about Kellie Castle.
amy,
Kellie Castle is located nearby Batu Gajah in Malaysia. Built by the Scottish planter called William Kellie Smith. It's one of the filming site for the movie Anna and the King :)

ReplyDeleteso.. umm.. is it haunted? heard a lot of woo woo stories about it wor.. particularly the 'orang bunian'.. :D
ok, I'm smilling.. weird. LOL
ReplyDeletenice picture btw.. won't dare to step on it though. :P
Beautiful old moss covered steps! I love it!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful picture. Looks a little dangerous to negotiate those steps.
ReplyDeletebutt,
ReplyDeletewoh... u haven't been there too?
might be u & daydreamer can plan a trip there since she never been there yet (although she ipoh mari..) ;)
The corridor there is labelled as mystery corridor with the notice "The spirit of William Kellie Smith is still believed to be wandering along this corridor". But i'm not so lucky to see him :P
Smiling ah? Good mah smiling.. better than crying leh.. Kkkkkk..
guppyman,
Besides serving as a historical site & tourist attraction place, it's a nice place for photo shooting too :)

The possibility of slip and fall is always there.
Thanks for the welcome. Beautiful 'Steps!'
