Scotiacon (pronounced "Sko-sha-con"; previously ScotiaCon) is a UK furry convention, the first to be held in Scotland.
History[edit]
Scotiacon was originally planned to be held around Easter 2010.[1] with ThrashWolf as chairman, Ixis as co-chair, Zenon as treasurer and Kanibal responsible for the website development.[1] It was to be held at the Ramada Jarvis hotel, Inverness, with three ticket types - the basic attendee "MacRegular" for £55 and two enhanced options - the "MacPremium" priced at £65, and the "MacSponsor" priced at £99.[2] The convention was put on hold however when Thrashwolf left for personal reasons.
In July 2010, Scotiacon was relaunched under new management, with Smirnoff and Black Wolf as co-chairmen. The website went live in July 2010, and announced the new date of the convention as July 15-17, 2011, to be held at the Ramada Jarvis hotel in Inverness (now known as the Mercure Inverness).[3][4]
In 2014, prompted by the need for more convention space, Scotiacon relocated to the Mercure Hotel in Livingston. In 2022, Scotiacon again relocated to the Crowne Plaza in Glasgow.
Mascot[edit]
Scotiacon's mascot is Wallace, a Scottish terrier named after national hero William Wallace.[1]
Organization[edit]
ScotiaCon UK Ltd. is registered as a private company limited by guarantee, no. 07290014 (inc. June 21, 2010).[5]
