Hello all, wasn't quite sure if I should put this in events or ponies, but since most cons seem to be put in events, here ya go. 

 

Was just wondering if anyone here has heard of "BronyScot"?

It's (soon-to-be) Scotland's very first brony con, kicking off this year! 

 

Happening at the Hilton Grosvenor in Scotland's lovely capital city, Edinburgh on October 11th-12th 2014

 

I'll probably be going since it's only just a 40 minute bus journey away from my house.  :pinkiehappy:  Unless the tickets are crazy expensive, but I doubt it'd be too bad.

 

I don't really know many people from the UK on here, but if we were to get a little group thing going on, that'd be cool. 

 

Anyway, I'm not a spokesperson for the con, so if anyone wants to find out more, the site here will have all the info that's available so far:

There's still a bunch of stuff to still be decided, like prices and such so will probably update this thread when more info is release if there's much interest in it on here.

Bad news about this one. It's about a month and a half away, they've had only 80 people sign up (which makes it smaller than some of the London meet-ups) and they've had to cut it short by one day due to the small numbers. Ticket prices have been slashed, though.

Hi, I was one of the organisers. I'm glad you enjoyed it Rhee.

There were actually nearly 180 people in the end.

There were lots more registrations after the ticket price reduction and move to one day, so it was definitely the right call.

 

Obviously those who have further to travel are more likely to be cautious about a first-time event, but following the success of BronyScot 2014 I expect it to be even more popular next year.

I live in London with relatives in Scotland, I'm sure it'd be a nice event to attend if I was able to get down there for this time (assuming it'll be at the same time) next year!
