Crew from the Fleet are generally in attendance at all of them, whether its Comic Con Scotland at Ingliston, Captial, Film and Comic Con Glasgow, ACME, or Comic Con North East.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More recently.  Worldcon in Glasgow was certainly &#8216;different&#8217; from other Cons (in a good way). A chance to focus on the Literature and Art of sci-fi. Particularly enjoyed hearing authors (especially Ken MacLeod), discuss their work, and loved the brilliant Art show\/gallery. The range of panels is quite astonishing and shows why it takes so much organisation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thinking about this, and other Cons, it is good that there is &#8216;something for everyone&#8217; across a range of them. If your focus is autos and photos with actors, certainly Ingliston is the place. If its more meeting up\/catching up with friends, thought Destination Trek got that right. Favourite in Scotland is probably ACME as it has the balance of just a few actors and authors, a wider range of stalls, gaming, props, Cosplay etc. The BGCP ones are good as well, obviously smaller and without the actors etc, but with a good range of comics and Props.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Always enjoy the atmosphere of Capital Con in Edinburgh as well..venue size is good..again good range of stalls, panels and a smaller number of actors etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/scottishklingons.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/image-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-57\" style=\"width:677px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/scottishklingons.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/image-1.png 600w, https:\/\/scottishklingons.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/image-1-300x225.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With the range of Comic Cons across Scotland in full swing, after the hiatus of 2020\/21, it&#8217;s good to pause [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-55","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/scottishklingons.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/55","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/scottishklingons.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/scottishklingons.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/scottishklingons.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/scottishklingons.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=55"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/scottishklingons.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/55\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":58,"href":"https:\/\/scottishklingons.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/55\/revisions\/58"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/scottishklingons.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=55"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/scottishklingons.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=55"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/scottishklingons.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=55"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
