Highlander fans offered a shot at immortality

Fans of the cult movie Highlander are being given their own chance to become immortal as the film celebrates its 25th anniversary.

Christopher Lambert starred as Connor MacLeod in the 1986 release portraying battles fought by immortal warriors in the Highlands of Scotland and present-day New York.

Filming took place on the Isle of Skye, where enthusiasts are being offered the chance to have a gorge named after them.

The newly-named feature, which lies within Clan MacLeod territory, will be made official in a forthcoming atlas.

The competition was launched yesterday by video-on-demand website blinkbox, which features the Highlander television series. Michael Comish, of blinkbox, said: "It is a fantastic opportunity to bring the history and incredible setting of the show to life and offer a form of immortality to our winner."

The gorge featuring the winner's name will be included in the 2012 Collins Big Road Atlas of Britain.
