    What a wonderful video of the Scottish culture surviving in Cape Breton Nova Scotia from the Scottish Gaelic language to their music and to their dance steps from the Highlands of Scotland across the Atlantic Ocean to Nova Scotia. Slàinte Mhath! 🍻 🇨🇦

    I’m a young francophone from Louisiana and have many Acadian ancestors from down in Grand-Pré and Port Royal. I also have Scottish ancestors (although they never set foot in Nova Scotia). I’ll be in N.S. for the Congrès Mondial Acadien in 2024, and I so hope to make it up to Cape Breton when we go. If we do, we’ll definitely stop by the Highland Museum! Our two cultures, Acadians and Gaels, have fought to keep our languages alive, and I wish y’all only the best in upholding the renowned ways of your ancestors! 💙🤍

    Interesting! I was surprised that I could understand a lot of the Gaelic that was spoken. I wish all the best to you Nova Scotians, from Dublin , Ireland. Go n-éirigh an t-ádh libh..

    What are they doing with the fabric at the table? Does that serve a purpose?

      Hi Brandon - that is a called a milling frolic! It is the practice of pounding and fulling woven cloth in order to felt the fibres together. We'll be releasing a video tomorrow explaining Milling more thoroughly ... watch for it on our channel!

    Is this a village to visit?

      Yes! The Highland Village is located in Iona, on Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia Canada. It is definitely worth a visit :)

      Indeed it is. If you want a glimpse of heaven head up the hill. It will take your breathe away.

    But of course you left out the deep Catholic traditional devotion ... at least you included a few seconds of a church
