While on Cape Breton, Beddeck, the "Cradle of Canadian Aviation" has the Alexander Graham Bell Museum. Inside is the old plane that is the first to fly in Canada, over the ice covered lake in front. As well, there is a hydrofoil that set a world speed record for boats, about 72 MPH, in the early 1920's. The life of the great Scottish inventor is well documented here.
Out on the Cabot Trail, one can stop at the Glenora Distillery for lunch and enjoy the music they have in the afternoons. They distill whiskey that resembles the Scotch of the Old Country. The 19 year old, if they still have it, was $300 a bottle while we were there in 2014, from the first year they distilled; a sampler of more recent, is much less.
Louisburg is a must visit, with a long history, but with new buildings than resemble the old fort the French used to guard the St.Lawerance for many decades before the English finally took the Fort.
