THE REAL BRIG O' DOON
The name of Lerner's imaginary locale was probably based on a well known Scottish landmark. The real Brig o' Doon (Bridge of Doon), can be seen in Alloway, Scotland, in the heart of Robbie Burns country.
According to the tale made famous by Burns ,this ancient, single span bridge, constructed of stone in the 13th century, is the very bridge over which the legendary Tam o' Shanter fled on his horse Meg in order to escape from the three witches who were chasing him.
In the movie, Brigadoon is a Scottish village in a Highland mist that you can only see every 100 years. I feel Scotties are a lot like Brigadoon, you only see an enchanted breed like the Scottie every 100 years.
