What’s the history of Tabletop Scotland?

First held in 2018 at the Dewars Centre in Perth, Tabletop Scotland is the largest tabletop games event ever held in Scotland, and one of the largest in the UK.
The convention is organised by a group of volunteers who do this simply because they believe the convention should exist!

In 2024 the convention relocated from Perth to the Royal Highland Centre, next door to Edinburgh Airport. The 2024 event was a huge success with a 75% increase in attendance with room to grow in a space almost three times the size of our venue in Perth.
