Location

Whereas England is a country better known for its big cities and industrial landmarks,  Scotland is more known for its breathtaking vistas and natural beauty. The ScotiaCon staff felt it would only be fair to allow attendees to experience this “true” Scotland by surrounding them with trees, lakes, fresh air and plenty of green as opposed to the more traditional grey, crowded and claustrophobic city backdrop. This way, ScotiaCon already has something new and different to offer its potential attendees – something that is important when trying to join the rank of an already successful and brilliant UK furry con.

Once again, ScotiaCon is taking place in Inverness, a city in the Scottish Highlands. It will be the chance to experience a furry convention outside of its usual backdrop of traffic jams, pedestrians, pollution and dull high-rise buildings! The hotel is instead surrounded by traditional Scottish scenery including a castle, timeless heritage and of course Loch Ness (watch out for Nessie!).

Although not a major Scottish city, Inverness still boasts a superb choice of places to eat and drink. Not only does the location of the hotel mean the nearest restaurants and bars are next door (this is no lie!) but well known names such as McDonalds and Subway are within walking distance. There are plenty of sights to see and things to do from historic distilleries to waterfalls, and with a national airport, rail, and of course road links to Inverness, travel is easy.
