Unknown castle

[RedCoat]

I have a watercolour picture of a castle that I am hoping somebody knows where it is located and of course its name.

Hello Redcoat
I think your castle is from Never Never land. It's south of the Land of Make Believe.
It's a nice picture though.

 Perhaps your right...or....perhaps it does not exist anymore....

Any clue who painted it?? 

Sometimes you can find out the where it is, if you know who painted it.

I don't know who painted it.....on the purchase certificate....it says....
1805 Aquatint.......aquatint is just another name for a water colour....I bought a few of them and none of them were signed.....they were purchased while on holiday in the UK  (Brighton art store).......

Hi Redcoat,
An aquatint is a form of print, not a watercolour.  It's relating to the technique of etching.
If they are true aquatints then they will show a plate mark around the edges - this looks like a little impressed "frame" in the paper, where the etched plate was pressed into the paper as it printed.
Having said all that, I have no idea where the castle is      but I hope you find out, one way or the other.
Cheers
Prue

thanks again...

Hi Redcoat,

I'd try posting it on a Medieval interest website. To my untrained eye it doesn't look like a Scottish castle, my guess if it does exist, is continental.
