Legend Of Brigadoon: Mythical Village Where Time Stands Still
Ellen Lloyd - AncientPages.com - People who visit Scotland often ask where they can find the mysterious and beautiful village of Brigadoon.
It's a place where the passing of a century seems no longer than one night. The village is hidden somewhere in the Scottish Highlands, appearing every hundred years for just one day.
The enchantment on the village of Brigadoon will only last as long as no citizen leaves. If the enchantment is broken, the village will disappear forever into the Highland mists.

A long time ago, the village fell under an evil magical curse. As part of an agreement made with God, the village must remain unchanged and invisible to the outside world except for one special day every hundred years when it can be seen and even visited by outsiders.
That day is a moment of joy and celebration, but none of the villagers can leave the place. If anyone does, the enchantment will be broken, and the village and all its inhabitants will vanish forever into the Highland mists.
