'''Scotiacon''' (pronounced "Sko-sha-con"; previously ''ScotiaCon'') is a UK [[furry convention]], the first to be held in [[Wikipedia:Scotland|Scotland]].<br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
Scotiacon was originally planned to be held around Easter 2010.<ref name="Furtean">[http://www.furteantimes.com/r/72 Scotland to get its first furry convention] - posted by [[ISD|The Chained Wolf]] on February 18, 2099 in the [[FurteanTimes.com]]. Retrieved August 31, 2012 </ref> with [[ThrashWolf]] as chairman, [[Ixis]] as co-chair, [[Zenon]] as treasurer and [[Kanibal]] responsible for the website development.<ref name="Furtean"/> It was to be held at the Ramada Jarvis hotel, [[Wikipedia:Inverness|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.<ref>[http://www.flayrah.com/3258/scotiacons-website-and-running Scotiacon's website up-and-running] - posted by The Chained Wolf on April 12, 2009. Retrieved August 31, 2012</ref> The convention was put on hold however when Thrashwolf left for personal reasons.<br />
<br />
In July 2010, Scotiacon was relaunched under new management, with [[Smirnoff]] and [[Black Wolf (UK)|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).<ref>[http://forum.ukfur.org/topic/25217-scotiacon-general-thread/ ScotiaCon 2011 general thread] - Posted by [[Smirnoff]] on July 15, 2010 on [[UKFur]].

<br />
In 2014, prompted by the need for more convention space, Scotiacon relocated to the [http://www.mercure.com/gb/hotel-8351-mercure-inverness-hotel/index.shtml Mercure Hotel] in [[Wikipedia:Livingston, West Lothian|Livingston]] and as of 2019 continues to be held there.<br />
