Nova Scotia and Cape Breton Island

One of the most talked-about experiences on Canadian Maritimes is a visit to The Gaelic College, located along the Cabot Trail on Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia. The Gaelic College is first and foremost an educational non-profit institution, offering year-round programming. The only institution of its kind in North America, students of all ages and skill levels visit the College every year to study under some of the finest instructors in Nova Scotia Gaelic culture. Colaisde na Gàidhlig shares traditions, customs and crafts that were brought over to Canada by immigrants from the Highlands of Scotland. From cultural demonstrations to kilt making, weaving and a unique style of Cape Breton music, Tauck guests come away with a better understanding of Celtic influences from both sides of the Atlantic.
