Getting there

The Royal Highland Centre is next to Edinburgh Airport, about ten minutes' walk along Fairview Road.
Buses: Airlink 100, Skylink 200 and 300, and Lothian routes 20 and 63 stop close by; Citylink stops on the A8. The nearest tram stop is Ingliston Park & Ride, then a walk. The nearest train station is Edinburgh Gateway.
Parking is £10 per car per day, in through the North Car Park entry. Car park payment is contactless card only.
Taxis drop off on the east side of the site.
Print your ticket for quicker entry, or have the QR code downloaded on your phone (not a screenshot). Autograph and photo tickets don't get you in on their own.

Blue Badge holders park free, no booking needed: show your badge as you drive in. The North Car Park is about 50 m from the North Turnstiles.
A free personal assistant ticket if your Nimbus Access Card has the +1 or +2 symbol; the PA must be over 16 and stay with you.
Fast-track entry if your Nimbus card has the queuing symbol, plus limited fast-track for each guest's autographs and photos. Both must be ordered ahead by email to Ticket Quarter; they can't be had at the show.
Bring your own wheelchair or scooter: the venue doesn't lend or hire them.
Portable hearing loops and ear defenders can be borrowed: ask the organisers.
Assistance dogs are welcome everywhere. Telling the venue ahead helps with seating, water and a relief area, but isn't required.

Under 16s must be with an adult. Under 5s are free but still need a booked ticket.
Public Wi-Fi: ask staff or the front office for the password.
No smoking inside; there are outdoor smoking areas.

Autographs, photo ops and selfies can be paid by cash or card at the guest's table or the photo queue. Autographs on the day are usually from 12:00.
Most traders take cards, but ask first.
There's an RBS cash machine inside the East entrance, but it isn't always working during events, so bring cash.

No metal blades, bats, realistic guns, crossbows or strung bows, gas canisters, sharp sticking-out parts or laser pointers. Nothing that's illegal to carry in public.
Fine: unrealistic guns like phasers, airsoft or BB guns with a brightly coloured tip, unstrung bows and crossbows, and slings or catapults without ammo.
No naked flames, nothing wider than 3 metres, and no nudity or fetish wear. Security can take items away, and there are no exceptions.

Food and drink on sale around the venue, at a range of prices.
You can bring your own food and drink, but no alcohol.
We couldn't find dietary options or water refill points listed by Comic Con Scotland or the Royal Highland Centre.

Accessible toilets are in the public toilet areas, all the permanent toilet blocks and the main halls. The Highland Hall foyer one may be too small for a wheelchair user with a companion.
Changing Places toilets in the Highland Hall and the RHASS Pavilion (tell the organisers ahead so staff are ready). Baby changing in the toilets; breastfeeding is welcome anywhere.
We couldn't find gender-neutral toilets listed by Comic Con Scotland or the Royal Highland Centre.

In a medical emergency, find any Royal Highland Centre staff member or Comic Con Scotland volunteer.

Cosplay is not consent: ask before any photo or selfie, and before a hug or an arm around someone. Security can remove anyone harassing other fans.
Costumes that incite hate can be stopped by the organisers.
We couldn't find a harassment policy from Comic Con Scotland that names gender identity or sexual orientation.
