Pictou

'The Hector'

Scottish street names, and the tartan and clan on the post.

Typical Scottish style of building.

Pictou is an attractive town on the North Shore, where the Highland Scots first landed in 1773.

Thousands followed in the settling of 'New Scotland'.  Locals said that they were more Scottish than Scotland.  The first settlers came out in a ship called 'The Hector', a three master, and a replica has been built to represent it.

This photo is of the Bank of Nova Scotia and  Auberge Walkers Inn where we stayed.

Our bedroom was on the second floor and we could look down the street and out across the water.
