Trivia
- At one point in time Gaelcon had a stuffed toy mascot called Hamish, who was sent out into the world with the job of bringing the next years guest to the con. Sadly Hamish has vanished, his location unknown, he is presumed ... stuffed.
- In 1997 John Tynes had the letter H for Hamish shaved in to his head at the Charity Auction, raising IR£240. This may have had some thing to do with the disappearance of the beloved creature.
