Exploring 'pictou'

Michelle Y: Pictou, the "Birthplace of New Scotland"

As Supervisor at the Hector Heritage Quay, a cultural attraction in Pictou, you will learn about Scottish migration to the New World. A series of imaginative and informative displays retell the story of the Ship Hector voyage in 1773. The centerpiece of the attraction is a full scale reproduction of the ship Hector. Hear the sizzling sounds of the working blacksmith's forge, and the rhythm of the mallets and chisels. www.townofpictou.ca.

Dayle C: Scotland feels like home!

As the Director/Site manager of an historic home built for the founder of Liberal education, Thomas McCulloch, native of Scotland and a genealogy centre/museum which focuses on Scottish everything I breath a little bit of Scotland ever day. My grandmother was from Glasgow Scotland and became a war bride entering Nova Scotia through the famous Pier 21. I get homesick for Scotland and fortunately was able to visit in 2009. Now my mission.. wanted: scottish connections, friendship, a good chat, a scottish job ;-).. on offer: genealogy, friendship, a good chat
