Castle Stalker Castle Stalker ( ) is a four - storey tower house or keep picturesquely set on a tidal islet on Loch Laich , an inlet off Loch Linnhe . It is about north - east of Port Appin , Argyll , Scotland , and is visible from the A828 road about mid - way between Oban and Glen Coe . The islet is accessible ( with difficulty ) from the shore at low tide . The name " Stalker " comes from the Gaelic " Stalcaire " , meaning " hunter " or " falconer " , and should therefore be pronounced " stal - ker " , with the l sounded , not as in the pronunciation of the English word " stocker " and some L - dropping accents ' pronunciation of " stalker " . In recent times , the castle was brought to fame by the Monty Python team , appearing in their film " Monty Python and the Holy Grail " . Setting . The island castle ' s picturesque appearance , with its bewitching island setting against a dramatic backdrop of mountains , has made it a favourite subject for postcards and calendars , and something of a cliché image of Scottish Highland scenery . Castle Stalker is entirely authentic ; it is one of the best - preserved medieval tower - houses surviving in western Scotland . It forms part of the Lynn of Lorn National Scenic Area , one of forty in Scotland . History . The original castle was a small fort , built around 1320 by Clan MacDougall who were then Lords of Lorn . Around 1388 the Stewarts took over the Lordship of Lorn , and it is believed that they built the castle in its present form around the 1440s . The Stewart ' s relative King James IV of Scotland visited the castle , and a drunken bet around 1620 resulted in the castle passing to Clan Campbell . After changing hands between these clans a couple of times the Campbells finally abandoned the castle in about 1840 , when it lost its roof . In 1908 the castle was bought by Charles Stewart of Achara , who carried out basic conservation work . In 1965 Lt . Col . D . R . Stewart Allward acquired the castle and over about ten years fully restored it . Castle Stalker remains in private ownership and is open to the public at selected times during the summer . For the 2011 census the island on which the castle stands was classified by the National Records of Scotland as an inhabited island that " had no usual residents at the time of either the 2001 or 2011 censuses . " In popular culture . While most castle scenes in the movie " Monty Python and the Holy Grail " ( 1975 ) were filmed in and around Doune Castle , Castle Stalker appears in the final scene as " The Castle of Aaaaarrrrrrggghhh " . First the castle is seen from a distance , next John Cleese taunts Arthur in a French accent from its battlements , then finally a massive attack is launched at the castle . But the castle is saved by the police who appear to arrest Arthur and his knights for the murder of a famous historian . The castle also makes a brief appearance in the film " " .

After the fall of the royal Thuringian seat of Scithingi to the king of Metz , Theuderic I in 531 , Amalaberga fled to the Ostrogothic king Theodahad , her brother , with Amalafrid and his sister Rodelinda . They were captured by the Byzantine general Belisarius and sent to Constantinople , together with the captured Ostrogothic king Witiges ( or Wittigis ) . Justinian made Amalafrid a general and married off his sister Rodelinda to the Lombard king Audoin . When the Lombards applied to the Byzantine Emperor Justinian I for help against the Gepids , he sent an army under the command of Justinus and Justinianus , the sons of Germanus ; Aratius and Suartuas ( a former ruler of the Heruli ) ; and Amalafrid . All the former remained in Ulpiana , Illyria , to decide on a question of doctrine among the local Christians . Amalafrid led part of the Roman army against the Gepids . As Audoin afterwards sent envoys to Justinian to complain about the lack of Imperial help , this seems to have been only a small part of the original army .
