Interlude at Antigonish

Antigonish is a small but important town in Antigonish County, Nova Scotia. As we drove in passing the inevitable field of shopping barns, we quickly came across the splendid campus of the St. Francis Xavier University. Apparently this town hosts the oldest continuous Highland games outside Scotland! It also has a lovely old fashioned Main Street, complete with tea shop and book store.
We stayed at a little family run motel on the edge of town for two nights. We walked the very special Landing Wildlife Walk and enjoyed being in beautiful Nova Scotia. We bought a copy of Anne of Green Gables in preparation for our trip to Prince Edward Island.Læs mere
