Last Day of Nova Scotia


View Kidston Island Lighthouse from the closet of
Alexander Graham Bell National Historic Site in
Baddeck. Alex & his family moved a lot since his 
brothers died of tuberculois in Scotland.  They
wanted clean air out of Scotland.  He lived in
 Baddeck for a while til his death in his age of 75.

"Hector", the tall Scotish Ship at Pictou Harbor

The three-masted Dutch sailing ship brought
approximately 2 hundreds(33 families & 25
unmarried men) arrived aboard the ship, Hector
on September 15, 1773.
This began a first waving Scottish immigration to
Nova Scotia. So it is well-known as the
"Birthplace of New Scotland".


Autumn trees started in Nova Scotia early than
our home, South Carolina. Believe it or not...


Amerst Village has lot of carved trees, identifying
famous people

Welcome Center where we came for a first time.



We stopped Nova Scotia Welcome Center again
for a while.

We enjoyed visiting Nova Scotia for almost a week
despite an unforgotten memory of Halifax,
Perry's Cove Lighthouse, and
CAPE BRETON HIGHLANDS NATIONAL PARK
(CABOT TRAIL).
