Nova Scotia - latin for "New Scotland"

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"
