Brigadoon is a wistful fantasy about two Americans who stumble on the enchanted village of Brigadoon while hunting grouse on the Scottish moors. The hero (Kelly) falls in love with beautiful Fiona (Cyd Charisse), then learns that the village materializes from the mists of time every 100 years for a single day. Fiona cannot leave with him or the village is doomed to disappear forever. Torn between his love for her and his obligation to go home to his fiancee, he returns to New York. There, his overpowering desire for Fiona and for the peace of Brigadoon cause him to break his engagement and return to Scotland in a desperate search for the village. Through the miracle of her love for him, Fiona and the village reappear, and he joins them forever."

there is a wee clearance villiage up north o me!!! if u passin it ever, go see it - it is amazin!!!! here is sum onfo aboot it!!
The traveller will not see Badbea from the road for it is perched perilously on the steep slopes of a headland, flanked by the Ousedale burn, running sheer into the sea. It takes a steady head to look over the edge of the precipice at the scene of desolation and chaos below. Huge mountains of rock, riven by some mighty force from the cliff face, rise in wild confusion from the threshing turmoil of waters, grotesque and fearsome. It is a haunting place. Above the jagged edge of cliffs small patches of land, still green, climb steeply to the heather where one can see the remains of the handful of houses strung irregularly over a mile of hillside. Many are the tales of this now deserted hamlet, of the lives lost over the cliffs and at sea, and the grim privations which had to be faced.
The weaver, whose little croft was almost part of the precipice itself, had to take the precaution of tethering his children to prevent them from going too near the cliff edge, and every light and movable article, such as the hens' basin, had to be spiked or chained to the ground.
