Pictou is a town in Pictou County, in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia. Located on the north shore of Pictou Harbour, the town is approximately 10 km north of the larger town of New Glasgow. Once an active shipping port and the shire town of the county, today Pictou is primarily a local service centre for surrounding rural communities and being the primary tourist destination in this region of Nova Scotia. The name Pictou, pronounced 'Pictoe', derives from the Mi'kmaq name Piktuk, meaning explosive place, a reference to the river of pitch that was found in the area, or perhaps from methane bubbling up from coal seams below the harbour.

Caribou is a small rural community in Pictou County, Nova Scotia, Canada.

Nova Scotia Road Trip Guide

A Nova Scotia road trip is the perfect introduction into the Maritime region of Canada. Nova Scotia, which means “New Scotland” has a significant Scottish influence while also being known as Canada’s ocean playground.

I road tripped around many areas of Nova Scotia and have put together what I think is the perfect 7-day Nova Scotia Road Trip. For a detailed outline of this road trip, visit:

GGC - 36 - The 12.9km Confederation Bridge from PEI to New Brunswick

Part 32 of our road trip across Northern Quebec and Eastern Canada. After only a few days on Prince Edward Island, it was unfortunately, already time to leave. But rather than take the ferry back to Nova Scotia, we decided to take the 12.9 km (8 mile) Confederation Bridge to New Brunswick.
