Not Castle Commando, but I found this one on You Tube which is entitled No 4 Commando Achncarry by the poster but actually refers to all Commando Training at Achnacarry. The title in the credit is Achtung Achnacarry and it was produced by Scottish Television. Instructors Donald Gilchrist and Niall Thomson give a good account of what went on, with contributions by Ronnie Williamson and Raymond Hervo, and other Commandos.

Some of clips in there are from the film The Story of the Green Beret which is on our site here:
The Story of the Green Beret
Both are excellent.
