SIR Ian McKellen is set to have a theatre in Scotland named in his honour.
A new 300-seater theatre underneath the Ashton Hall at Saint Stephens in Edinburgh will now be named after the Lord of the Rings star.
Now called the Ian McKellen theatre at Saint Stephens, the venue hosted the actor's dance version of Shakespeare’s Hamlet, which had a sold-out run during the Fringe being seen by 13,000 people.
