Sunday 11th September

Today the news was full of 9/11
We had a later start today then drove to Peggy’s cove.  Peggy’s Cove is a delightful picturesque village which even has its own Facebook page!  It has the only lighthouse Post office on the island.

Following a lovely lunch, we set off back to Halifax to visit the Halifax Citadel National Historic Site. 


Halifax Citadel represents the stronghold of the British Army/Scottish regiments in Halifax.

The evening party was hosted by Marg and Don Chisholm at the pavilion owned by their Condo building.  Bill Walker presented a plaque from Perth City to local councillor Tim Outhit.  We were also given an insight into the history of the Scots who first inhabited Nova Scotia and information about the Clan Sinclair.
