The Cape Breton Blog is part of the oldest and most visited website about Cape Breton, CapeBretonIsland.com (formerly known as the Cape Breton Showcase)
Since 1994 CapeBretonIsland.com has been leading visitors such as yourself to the wonders and down home hospitality of that scenic ‘rock in the stream’ Cape Breton Island. Now, through this recent technological wonder called blogging, we can keep you even more informed and well-prepared before embarking on your exciting adventure to our island!

Hello, Cape Bretoners! I am a Scottish Ethnology student at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland. For my third year “Scottish Emigrant Traditions” course, we have been asked to analyse symbols that contribute to Cape Breton’s collective identity and sense of community. What has helped to maintain your connection to An t-Seann Dùthaich (‘The Old Country’) through the generations?
If you would like to submit a response to this query, kindly e-mail me at R.McLellan-2@sms.ed.ac.uk. I look forward to hearing from you.
All the best,
