Travel Guide to Nova Scotia Nova Scotia is a 350-mile (560km) long peninsula on the east of Canada, connected to the mainland by a narrow isthmus. The rugged and jagged coastline, and the fact that this semi-island is covered in numerous rivers and lakes, makes it a watery wonderland famous for its seafood (the province is the world's largest exporter of lobster), scenic routes, wilderness trails, dolphin and whale-watching opportunities and the Scottish flavour of its bars and restaurants. The Scots were the first settlers on the island, thus the name which means 'New Scotland' in Latin. The bagpipes are heard all over the territory. Nowhere in Nova Scotia is further than 35 miles (56km) from the sea. Nova Scotia, together with its neighbouring provinces of New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island, are known as the Maritime Provinces of Canada. |
