The Margaree Trail: The TWIN Lighthouses of Margaree Harbour
http://margareetrail.blogspot.com/2011/01/lighthouses-margaree-harbour.html
Saturday, January 15, 2011. The TWIN Lighthouses of Margaree Harbour. There are not that many locations where you can easily stop and walk right up to TWO lighthouses, but you can in Margaree Harbour. So, if you are traveling the Cabot Trail or the Ceilidh Trail , then go right into the village of Margaree Harbour , to the end of the road at the parking lot for the Margaree Harbour Beach . Many summer evenings we'll even see whales on the ocean. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Acres and Ocean Cottages.

The Margaree Trail: Margaree and "Vinland"
http://margareetrail.blogspot.com/2012/09/margaree-and-vinland.html
Tuesday, September 25, 2012. The name "Vinland" refers to a location that many historians tell us was another location on North America where the Norsemen sailed and landed and camped . While we have all heard about the L'Anse aux Meadows Viking site in Newfoundland , we don't hear much about the possibility there was also a landing site and a stay or campment on Cape Breton and that may have been in the Margaree valley .

The Margaree Trail: December 2012
http://margareetrail.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html
Sunday, December 23, 2012. The secrets of Cape Breton. At various times in the last few years there have been sightings of white moose on Cape Breton Island. Now these are a very rare animal , and here we have two travelling together . The experienced local woodsmen and outdoor fellows we asked suggest that these two are two year olds and might be twins or two that just came together and now travel together . Many people who come to visit Cape Breton and the Cabot Trail hope to get to see a moose . Don't...

The Margaree Trail: September 2011
http://margareetrail.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Wednesday, September 7, 2011. Water , water everywhere. The key to enjoying your travels along the Margaree Trail is the realization that no matter where you are in the Margaree Valley , you are on the water or very near the water. Check the map . You have the lighthouses , gift shops , artisants studios , stores and dining , but also a working wharf at the end of the Belle Cote Beach Road . There is the Lake o' law. Next is Lake Ainslie.

The Margaree Trail: A taste of Winter
http://margareetrail.blogspot.com/2013/03/a-taste-of-winter.html
Tuesday, March 5, 2013. A taste of Winter. When we travel along this western coast of Cape Breton, we are always watching the water , which to many of us is "the ocean" or "the sea" . In fact , it is really called the "gulf", meaning the Gulf of St.lawrence . If a tourist or visitor asks about the weather along the coast , we talk about our high winds and our winters. When we tell people that the ocean is full of ice , they'll look at us in disbelief. View Of Margaree Island. Sun setting "on the ice".
