 History comes alive along the Sunrise Trail.
Pictou known as "The Birthplace of New Scotland" - here you can see a
replica of the Pilgrim Ship Hector that brought the original Scottish
settlers to these shores in 1773. At the Balmoral Grist Mill see grain
ground into flour by water power, or visit the Sutherland Steam Mill,
where steam power turns logs into lumber just as it did in 1894. In
Stellarton, Nova Scotia's Museum of Industry tells the story of early
industrial development through entertaining interactive exhibits.
 Enjoy swimming in the warmest salt waters
north of the Carolinas. There are twelve beautiful provincial parks -
explore hiking trails, sand dunes and wildlife-filled salt marshes -
good food and festivals are our specialty. Celebrate our rich Scottish
heritage at the world-famous Highland Games in Antigonish, or the magic
of bagpipes, fiddles and traditional dancing at a gathering of the
clans. The Sunrise Trail Heritage Tour introduces you to the industry
and imagination of Canada's earliest peoples - the Mi'kmaq, the Scots,
the Acadians. Many communities have public wharves and lobster pounds
where you can purchase lobster right from the fisherman.
