http://theshiphector.com THE HECTOR  There were more than 200 passengers on board the Canada Hector; as days became weeks and weeks turned to months, water began to run out. The only food left was mouldy oatcakes and salted meat. Eighteen children were dead, one baby had been born. Finally, the journey's end was near. Pictou harbour came into view on 5 September. Highland dress, proscribed in Scotland, was hastily put on by the passengers to greet their new home. There was dense woodland. There were no houses. There was no shelter. No provisions. Nothing for miles except trees.  Six months later, in the spring of 1774, only 78 colonists from the original 180 remained in Pictou www.townofpictou.com

Nova Scotia is Latin for New Scotland. Throughout the 18th and 19th centuries thousands of Scottish immigrants chose this peninsula on the east coast of a new world as the place they would call home. The strength of the Gaelic culture, music, history and language has endured here for centuries. Cape Breton Island in particular, offers a chance to explore Celtic culture and history. http://novascotia.com
