Highlander star in capital visit

Highlander legend Christopher Lambert is to make his first-ever Scottish convention appearance in Edinburgh this October.

The French actor, who is best known as Connor Macleod in the cult adventure-fantasy film, will appear alongside a host of stars from the ‘90s at Comic Con Scotland.

The event, set to run from 12 to 13 October at the Royal Highland Centre in Ingliston, will also feature Fresh Prince of Bel Air’s Hilary – actress Karyn Parsons.

Joining her will be Tim Rose, who played Admiral Ackbar in Star Wars, Ray Park, who was Darth Maul, and Jason David Frank from Power Rangers.

More guests are still to be announced.

Attracting the stars is a labour of love for Andy Kleek, main organiser of Monopoly Events, who said: “We have moved to a bigger venue now where we can really show people what we can do.”
