Cape Breton Island - seat of ancient culture and hub of the Celtic music revival. For centuries, the Scottish and French settlers of tree-covered mountains and magnificent valleys nurtured their heritage in relative isolation. Today the world flocks to historic villages, world-class golf courses, and Celtic music festivals in the island's stunning setting.

Join in the old-time dances as bagpipers and fiddlers celebrate Gaelic culture amidst the quietbeauty of the Ceilidh Trail.

Surround yourself with the splendour of the Cabot Trail's bold highlands, where moose and bald eagles abound and humpback whales caper in the shimmering waters of the Gulf of St. Lawrence.

Stroll the grassy shores or cruise to international boating destinations along the Bras d'Or Lakes Scenic Drive.

Tour the world-class historical reconstruction of Fortress Louisbourg, wander through centuries-old Acadian villages, and descend to a coal mine beneath the ocean floor on the Fleur-de-lis and Marconi Trails and in Metro Cape Breton.

Colourful and cultured-delight in the sights and sounds of Cape Breton, Nova Scotia's masterpiece.
