I Fart In Your General Direction!

Picking a favorite Monty Python scene is almost impossible! There are so many contenders for the top spot, whether you choose  the infamous Dead Parrot Sketch from the Flying Circus television series, or the Blessed are the Cheesemakers from the Life Of Brian, the Holy Grail is bound to supply enough material on it's own to keep any Monty Python Fan in a dilemma.

If you were to choose a location for a pythoesque pilgrimage no better location than Castle Anthrax could be chosen. Doune Castle, near Stirling in Scotland was the location for the famous stand off between King Arthur and a solitary Frenchman in The Search for the Holy Grail.

The picturesque and remote castle recieves over 25,000 visitors a year and a third of these are claimed to be visiting due to connections with the film and to shout from the battlements "I fart in your genral direction" in a vaguely french accent at those below.

Monty Python Day 

In 2005 the first organised fan day was arranged at the castle where fans dressed up as characters from the film, took part in a coconut conga and played out other scenes and acts from the film. Tickets were strictly limited to 500 as the castle isn't too big but it has been a great success and tickets for the event sell out months in advance.
