don't they just call themselves Immortals?

I may be misunderstanding, but if that's a real question - afaik, they aren't called Highlanders. But the one the show's about, Duncan McCleod, happened to be a Highlander.
I think they were just called Immortals. The original Immortal MacLeod (Connor) was the Highlander.
I never saw the TV series but I assume he was some relation to Connor.
ETA: HA! X-posty!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Oooh. Thanks. I thought they were called Immortals too, but I didn't know where the "Highlander" name came from.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
In a move indicative of my predisposition towards fanfic long before I knew what it was, I read the novelization of the movie years and years before I happened to see the movie.
Cracked me up to see Sean Connery pretending to be a Spaniard (with a Scots accent) whilst the alleged Highlander himself was clearly as Scottish as the Eiffel Tower.

I still crack up every time I hear Sean Connery call Christopher Lambert "Highlander." It's meta-awesome.

Did Duncan refer to himself as a Highlander?
