Here are few sites of the ones that seem to catch the mood and background of Brigadoon. The musical on Broadway starred Marion Bell. This was the first Movie choreographed by Gene Kelly.

There is a phrase by the Reverend that has caught everyone's attention. "When you love someone enough, anything is possible, even miracles". I've changed the phrase just ever so slightly". "When you care enough, anything is possible". It's the principles and people we care about that really matter in this world.
