Brice, I'm surprised you had never heard of it. The term "Brigadoon" is commonly used to describe the kind of hazy, romanticized view of old Scotland to which Americans are prone.

Nice. I'm not a fan of musicals (well, excepting Dr.Horrible's Sing-Along Blog) but I did enjoy the local version the Lindsay theatre did some years ago - mainly because my Dad was called in to play the part of the piper.
Now, small town theatres don't exactly have the space to quietly float in a full set of Highland Pipes, so he cheated - they opened the side door back stage and had him walk up the sidewalk, into the door and onto the stage, then later, back out again. I have to say the effect was fantastically haunting.
Probably the best theatre experience I've had.

It appears that the Bank of Scotland has a prominent picture of Brig o' Doon printed on the back of their five pound note. Do they also have a hazy, romanticized view?
