One of the Maritimes. Connected to mainland North America only by a small isthmus; on the Nova Scotian end, a student is employed 9am-5pm five days a week during the summer to play the bagpipes. Lots of lighthouses and breathtaking scenery, especially on Cape Breton Island. Home to a vibrant, active music scene.
