Kellie Castle

Kellie Castle is a 16th century tower house which was the seat of the Earls of Kellie.

When Sir Philip Anstruther of Anstruther commissioned a new house at Anstruther in 1663 he specified that the windows in the hall were to be “as large and complete as those in the hall of Kellie.”
