Anachronisms: 

At 19 minutes in there is a camera shot of a logo on a wall for the Royal Club travel agency. The plaque features the URL for the website of the company. There was no such website at the time as the internet was in its infancy.

Even though the film is set in the 1990s, At 1hr 20 of the movie, Kasper is seen passing a 2014 Alfa Romeo GTV trying to catch up with Bartek.


Brigadoon. 1954, Starring 



English Language Library, Guanajuato, MX, April 6, 2025. Soundtrack: "


Anachronisms: 

In response to the first Anachronism re: date of 1754. In the original play, it was 1747, as the play opened on Broadway March 13, 1947. The law prohibiting the tartans, kilts, bagpipes and arms went into effect in late 1746/early 1747. Tartan trews and kilts would have still been worn. As an aside, Roman Catholicism was practiced by many clans, and Protestantism was practiced by other clans. Catholic & Scottish Episcopalian clans tended to be supporters of the Jacobites (losers of the battle/war) and Protestants were supporters of the Hanoverians. The Campbells (the family name in the play) were supporters of the Hanoverians, delaying their proscription of wearing Highland clothing.

The events of the movie are said to take place (essentially) in 1754. The '45, the rebellion in which Bonnie Prince Charlie unsuccessfully led the Highlanders against the British, would have occurred 9 years prior to the "miracle" being placed upon the town. The disaster at Culloden which ended the rising occurred in 1746, and immediately after the kilt and tartan were forbidden to be worn in the Highlands. Therefore, it is highly implausible that as much tartan as is visible in the town would have been located over the course of two days after being proscribed for eight years. Additionally, the colors of the tartan are far too vibrant for the time.

When talking to Mr. Lundie, Tommy says that they are from New York, which was renamed from New Amsterdam, after Mr. Lundie seems not to understand the location. New Amsterdam was renamed New York in 1664, 90 years prior to the events of the film. This would have been common knowledge, making Tommy's explanation unnecessary, as well as Mr. Lundie's reaction ridiculous.

In the 18th century, the Scottish Highlands were by and large Catholic. It is therefore implied that the entire town is Protestant in the discussions of Mr. Forsythe as a minister, rather than a Father Forsythe as a priest. This would have been highly unlikely in 1754.
