The Knight Rider actor is appearing at Comic Con Scotland at the weekend and had pre-warned fans of his arrival on his Instagram, stating: “I’ll be signing autographs and rockin’ my Knight Rider jacket”.

And on his arrival in the city he took in some of the sights including the castle while sporting his chosen Scottish team colours, Partick Thistle, ahead of an appearance at the weekend convention.

“See you at Comicon Scotland at the EICC Saturday and Sunday “Don’t haggis the Hoff”

He is staying in the Nira Caledonia hotel “hanging out for a few days” and asked to be left alone until the convention kicks off. “Then don’t leave us alone, come down and see us at the convention because it’s going to be unbelievably fun,” he added on Instagram.
