Kellie Castle

The 14th-century Kellie Castle is just outside the village of Anstruther on the east coast of Scotland and has a reputation for being haunted. The castle was built for the youngest daughter of King Robert I of Scotland (the king who restored independence to Scotland). She and her husband were proclaimed as the Earls of Kellie which is where the castle begets its name. After several violent episodes the castle stood almost in ruins until the Lorimer family purchased the property and restored it. Sir Robert Lorimer was one of the best known Scottish architects. He had spent his childhood in the castle and loved the building that he purchased.
