Getting There
Highland Hall is MASSIVE – over 8,500 m² – and conveniently located right next to the airport. Plenty of local hotel options offer discounts for attendees, from Hampton and Dakota to Premier Inn.
Getting around is easy – catch the tram or bus, or even walk just 15 minutes if you’re feeling famished.
The Community
Dave Wright, the organiser, calls it a celebration of gaming – and it really is. He keeps it real, advising attendees to build in some downtime and not overload their schedules. “Expect the unexpected,” he says.
Attendees love its friendly scale – one Redditor summed it up as “a small con with lots of friendly people, but a great size and lots to do.”
And it’s growing – last year saw around 6,500 people show up, with that number only going up.
Tabletop Scotland promises a weekend full of rolling dice, meeting fellow gamers, and discovering something new!
