Brigadoon (Scotland : Imaginary place)

found: Wikipedia, June 18, 2008(Brigadoon; a mysterious Scottish village that appears for only one day every hundred years; Alan Jay Lerner's book for the musical Brigadoon was based on a much older German story by Friedrich Gerstäcker about the mythical village of Germelshausen that fell under an evil magic curse; Lerner reimagined the story in Scotland; Lerner's name for his imaginary locale was probably based on a well-known Scottish landmark, the Brig o' Doon (Bridge of Doon), in Alloway, Scotland)
