The board walk around the nautical museum, is picturesque even under cloudy skies.The museum itself is well maintained and includes a tour of "the Hector," a replica boat that brought the first immigrants over from Scotland. One can also visit the workshops of the blacksmiths and carpenters involved in building the replica. I was amazed at the craft- menship of the wood carvings, really beautiful.The only drawback is the odour in the air outside, along the board walk. It could be the pulp mill across the water ruining the experience .

Had a great time exploring the Scottish immigration museum and learning more about what it was like for the Settlers. The staff were all very knowledgeable and friendly. Definitely worth visiting!

Amazing how deteriorated this boat has become since it was put in the water in 2000! The exhibits were very interesting, but had far too much reading (and I'm usually very good about that sort of thing). Still, the story is an interesting and important one.
