	CastleXplorer - Castle Stalker
		Castle Stalker is a small tower house that is sited on an islet, known as the Rock of the Cormorants, at the mouth of Loch Laich.
		In around 1620 the Castle passed into the hands of the Campbells of Airds as a result of a drunken wager by the 7th Stewart Chief, Duncan, in exchange for an eight-oared wherry.
		The castle did come back into the hands of the Stewarts for a short while before being lost to the Campbells once more in 1690.

	Castle Stalker - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Castle Stalker is a four storey tower house or keep picturesquely set on a small islet on Loch Laich, an inlet off Loch Linnhe.
		While the other castles in Monty Python and the Holy Grail were filmed in and around Doune castle (or were only a model), Castle Stalker appears in the final scene as Castle Aaaargh.
		First we see the castle from a distance, next John Cleese uses his outrageous French accent to taunt Arthur from its battlements, then finally a massive attack is launched at the castle with an odd conclusion.

	About Castle Stalker
		Castle Stalker – in the Gaelic, Stalcaire, meaning Hunter or Falconer – is believed originally to have been the site of a Fortalice (a small fortified building) belonging to the MacDougalls when they were Lords of Lorn, and built around 1320.
		It is believed that Castle Stalker, much in its present form, was built by the then Lord of Lorn, Sir John Stewart, who had an illegitimate son in 1446, and it is reasonable to suppose that he built and occupied the Castle about that time.
		The last Campbell was born in the Castle in 1775 and Campbells continued to reside in it until about 1800 when they built a new house on the mainland at Airds, which still exists today, and the Castle remained merely as a storehouse.
