Gaelic Culture
On Cape Breton Island the music and traditions of our Gaelic settlers has been preserved and shared since the early 1800s. Experience it as you step to rolling jigs played by furious fiddles and reeling bagpipes at a weekly Ceilidh. Hear it in the songs that accompany a milling frolic. Speak it with a lesson in Gaelic. Become part of our story and explore the Celtic Heart of North America.
