Is that movies, or actual people living in the Scottish Highlands? :?)
In the novel of the first movie (since I'm probably the only person in the
world to own a copy I reserve the right to quote from it regularly) Ramirez
says one in 50 million is born immortal, but then he admits he made the
number up because it sounds really big. I'm not sure what he says in the
movie, but from memory it is something simmilar. Suffice to say, there are
few enough that a society of watchers is highly unlikely, and there can be
only one.
