The earliest records of Kellie Castle go back to 1150 where it is mentioned in a charter issued by King David I. However, the current building dates from the 14th Century onwards, with various additions being added over time. The castle is an example of Scots Baronial domestic architecture, with a mix of gables, corbelled towers and chimneys. It is under the care of the National Trust for Scotland and is open to the public.

The castle is reputedly haunted by two ghosts. The first is that of James Lorimer, who took ownership of the castle in 1878. He has been sighted sitting in one of the corridors.

The second ghost is that of Anne Erskine, who is said to have fallen to her death from one of the windows. Although her wraith is not seen often, the sounds of footsteps on the spiral staircase are attributed to her. A pair of red shoes running on the stairs are also said to belong to her ghost.
