01 / THE PROJECT

A practical field guide,
growing with the project.

Castlescotland.app is slowly growing into a practical field guide for discovering castles, ruins and historic places across Scotland. The long-term plan is to develop a dedicated iOS app, and possibly an Android version in the future, but first I want to build, test and improve the project as a Progressive Web App.

The current PWA version is designed to make castle exploring easier, whether you are planning a trip, checking places by region, or saving locations for later. It includes a castle search tool, regional browsing, favourite castles, and direct map links to help with travel planning.

This is still an early version, so some features may change, improve or expand over time. The goal is to create something useful, clean and easy to use for people who love Scotland, history, photography and castle hunting.

You are very welcome to try the app, explore the available castles and follow the development of the project. More castles, photos, visitor notes and planning tools will be added gradually as the app grows.
