Bring visited markers and favourites to castle pages and a personal My Castles list. Today, these functions are available only in CS APP.

05 / IDEAS FOR THE FUTURE
Room to grow.
At the right pace.
Possible directions to explore as the project grows. These are ideas, rather than scheduled commitments.

FUTURE IDEA
·Profiles & personal travel statistics
A personal view of visited castles, regional progress and achievements, building on accounts and synchronisation.

Explore whether native apps would offer enough value beyond the existing PWA.
03
FUTURE IDEA
·Community & optional leaderboards
Consider ways to share discoveries and compare exploration progress if there is enough interest from visitors.
06 / BUILT CASTLE BY CASTLE
More places.
The same care.
An independent project shaped by personal visits, original photography and practical research. New features will follow when they make exploring Scotland easier.
