Overview of your Sydney tour:

*Only available mid JUNE to mid OCTOBER* Step back in time! Journey to the late 1700s when the first Scottish settlers came to their new land "New Scotland" - Nova Scotia. Experience the Highland Village, where animators portray life of the Scots who settled here. The village is a true replica circa 1700 with a working Forge and historic Church. Lots to experience and plenty of picture opportunities. Following along some of the same trails that our Scottish forefathers traveled as they settled in Nova Scotia. Cape Breton is embedded in rich Scottish history from the 1700's to present day, that you will see the Gaelic language in full use during our journey. Thereafter, we will travel to St. Ann's Bay and visit the only Gaelic College in North America before finishing our tour along the World Famous Cabot Trail.
