"Nova Scotia - latin for "New Scotland"" Province of Nova Scotia by frankcanfly

Province of Nova Scotia Travel Guide: 2,059 reviews and 5,048 photos

Because it fit in well with my schedule, I took a class called "The geography of Canadian Atlantic Provinces" when I was in college. I ended the semester with intrigue, and a desire to visit the Maritime provinces. Four years later, I finally made it.

I'm glad that I had a knowledge of the historical background. My destinations were largely 'history' based....

A week to explore this province was not enough! I hope you enjoy my pages, they are just a taste of Nova Scotia.

For more Nova Scotia information, see my Halifax, Fortress of Louisbourg National Historic Site, and Cape Breton travel pages....

For an excellent background of this area, I recommend reading a book by Mark Kurlansky titled:

"Cod: the fish that changed the world"

    Splendid page. Nova Scotia is a very underrated destination. I see that you had the fog experience too while in Halifax.

    You are fortunate to have seen more of Nova Scotia than many Nova Scotians have. Nice well rounded overview of NS's best destinations!
