Kellie's Castle is a famous landmark and a popular destination. Search the internet and you will find all kinds of tales about the man who built it - a Scotsman named William Kellie Smith. But how much of what you will find is true, and how much is imaginary?

This book is the result of careful research into the man behind the myth. It explores the reasons why he came to Perak in 1889; the true story of how he met his wife, Agnes; and how - together - they made their fortune. There are answers here as to why Kellies Castle was never completed, and how Kellie's Castle was rescued from the jungle that had reclaimed it. Illustrated throughout, with many previously unpublished photographs.
