3 quirks & policies that don't fit the highlights grid.
Scotland's strictest press policy and what it means for attendees
Scotiacon publishes the most detailed media-access policy of any UK furry convention. Press requests must reach the Directors at least a month before the con, must clear a written confirmation, and even when granted carry hard rules: no media of any kind in the Dealers'' Den or either art auction, any attendee can object to being filmed and the objection has to be honoured on the spot, and any resulting article or segment must be about Scotiacon specifically, not B-roll for a broader fandom feature.
Crowne Plaza + Hilton Garden Inn, the riverside dual-venue setup
Scotiacon runs as a two-hotel convention on the Glasgow riverfront: the Crowne Plaza Glasgow is the main venue and the Hilton Garden Inn Glasgow sits a short walk along the Clyde, holding the overflow block when the Crowne Plaza fills.
Portfolio-based Dealers' Den and the no-side-hustle Assistant rule
Scotiacon vets the Dealers'' Den on a portfolio basis: applicants who don''t have public social links can email examples of their work and their registered furry name straight to the Den team. Dealer Assistants are explicitly not allowed to sell anything of their own: if an Assistant wants their work on a table they have to apply as a separate Dealer and arrange a formal share.
