Nova Scotia

Canada's second-smallest province is virtually surrounded by the sea, and the ocean's salty waters pulse through its historic veins. Novia Scotia's rich folklore is steeped in sea-related superstitions together with First Nations fables, Acadian myths, Scottish legends and ghost stories. Here, fishermen have cast their nets for centuries and the abundance of contemporary seafood restaurants and historic lighthouses breathe life into their traditions.
