Explore Celtic Traditions in the Valleys and Highlands of Canada's Renowned Cape Breton Island

Even though the Cabot Trail, which winds like a black ribbon among the cliffs of Cape Breton, is world-famous for its breathtaking vistas at every turn, this island remains full of secrets.

Scott Walking Adventures will unlock these secrets as it guides walkers through this extraordinary island, where Scottish and French Acadian traditions merge in the deep valleys and coastal villages that skirt the highland wilderness.

The trip offers moderate to challenging days of hiking through cool and ancient forests, up soaring peaks, and along peninsulas that jut into the ocean. The magnificent walks are rewarded with the best of local fare and accommodations, and a visit to the only single-malt whiskey distillery in North America.

The trip includes the choice of a whale-watching cruise and time to explore the rug-hooking traditions of Cheticamp and the lakeside town of Baddeck, where Alexander Graham Bell passed his summers and devised many of his inventions.
