Is that the castle in Monthy Python and the Holy Grail??

Nope.
The castle used depends on which scene you mean.
Almost all were shot at Doune Castle

The final scene though (Castle Aargh!) was at Castle Stalker

Its setting on an island in a loch is very similar to Eilean Donan.

You are either the master of all things google or you carry an encyclopedia in that head of yours!

Not this time.
I'm a big fan of Monty Python and I have a keen interest in castles so I already knew the locations used. Just needed the links as back up.

The French Castle scene cracks me up every time.

French Soldier: I don't want to talk to you no more, you empty headed animal food trough wiper. I fart in your general direction. Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries.

Sir Galahad: Is there someone else up there we can talk to?
French Soldier: No, now go away or I shall taunt you a second time.
