History
Gaming Scotland was formed from the remnants of Gumpcom LAN Party when it was shut down in late 2010. The organisation is currently administered by 3 of Gumpcom's longest serving former staff members, who also staff the events alongside a few willing volunteers. Gaming Scotland as an organisation has run five successful events as of July 2011, although the staff have experience spanning the seven years of Gumpcom, including Gumpcom-LAN #15, the largest Scottish LAN party in current history.
Current Events
Gaming Scotland currently hosts two LAN parties, small 25 man LANs in Grangemouth and large 100man+ events in Larbert.
The small events are community focused and do not have many tournament games or sponsored prizes.
The larger events have tournaments in some of the most popular computer games and is considered to have a more competitive edge in comparison to the Grangemouth events.
