Hello again everyone,
We hope you are staying safe and keeping well. It has been a difficult time and we have wanted to try and make things as easy as possible which makes this announcement very difficult.
Due to some communication errors, the dates we believed we had confirmed for the convention have turned out to be incorrect. We only learned this recently and appreciate this is going to be an inconvenience to those who have booked time off. We can only apologise profusely for this.
The confirmed dates for the convention are 11th-13th February (a week after the formerly announced dates).
We want our 10th convention to be the best it can possibly be and the whole team is committed to bringing the experience so many of you have enjoyed in previous years to a brand new and fantastic venue.
Once again, we apologise for the inconvenience this may cause and thank you for your patience as we try to navigate through the various obstacles we have been facing in order to put on an event we want as many people to enjoy as possible.
Take care and continue to keep yourselves safe.
The Scotiacon Team

We are pleased to announce that for 2022, we will be supporting Sunny Harbour Cat Rescue. They are a pro-indoor, no-kill, family-run cat charity based in East Central Scotland.
Sunny Harbour Cat Rescue's aim is to ease the suffering of abandoned and stray cats and kittens in and around Edinburgh and Fife. They are a small, family run cat rescue who dedicate their efforts to promoting good welfare practices for cats and to helping those cats and kittens in their care back to health, so that they may find them a new loving forever home.
Their core focus is those cats living stray on the streets, the sick, injured and infirm who need special care to heal. They specialise in the hand rearing of infant and orphaned kittens and are on hand to offer advice on any aspects of cat care to the public through their Advice Line and Cat Care Centre. Sunny Harbour Cat Rescue relies entirely on the generosity of the public to provide vital services to sick, abandoned and unwanted cats and kittens in the region.

We apologise things have been quiet on the Twitter account. Unfortunately the algorithm thought something was a miss and has locked us out. Despite us using their tools to unlock the account, we have had no success so far. We are currently working to get things back again so if you have sent us a message, we aren't ignoring you!
We have now processed all registrations. Please check your email inboxes (including spam folders) for updates or login to https://reg.scotiacon.org.uk to check your registration status.
We now have a temporary Twitter account until we are able to get our main account back. We do not know how long that will take but until then, please follow this account for all future updates.
