Cape Breton should get the province of Nova Scotia to better advertise its lovely areas. It is not well enough known at all. There are some true gems within in the Cape Breton landscape. In the fall they have CelticColours musicfest and some of the best artists and musicians play in numerous venues all over the island. The province of Nova Scotia should be promoting that now - heavily! They offer some beautifl scenery and art in this area.
Yes - it is Rankin Family singing the second song. It's called "Leis An Lurgainn" in Gaelic. There is a re-mix version of it on their North Country CD. In English the song is called- Grey Dusk Of Eye (Portobello).
I love the music and the pictures. It reminds me of how fortunate I am to be standing on this island. Is it one of the Rankin sisters singing in the second song? Cape Breton is certainly the home of MY heart. <3
Great job.. Very good representation of Cape Breton Island.. It makes me so proud to be a Cape Bretoner... Thanks for your work to put out this video.....
the only thing that describes this place is the feeling you get when you set foot on the heart shaped island and hear the music play, the ocean roar and find yourself at a childlike age again
Ach! My heart pines for the island I had to leave to find work. Some day to return to Western Cape Breton, to my friends and to the wild beauty of that magickal place. Thank you for a much needed glimpse of home.
Aunt Dee what a wonderful job you and your brother Evan have done promoting our beautiful home, Cape Breton. It does my heart good to watch this video as you can take the girl from Cape Breton, but not Cape Breton from the girl. I till my dying day will always love Cape Breton Island and its fair land. Love and kisses from your Aunt E in Alberta
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this video. You did a GREAT job...the pics are wonderful too. From CB but live on the mainland now :-( so I'm not that far away but I still miss it like crazy!!
Excellent video! It brought a tear to my eye just reminiscing about home. I'm living in Scotland right now- my first time living anywhere else but Cape Breton, and my goodness it's not easy! You can take the girl out of Cape Breton but you can't take the Cape Breton out of the girl!!
Geez AuntDee..I've had this video VLoged for some time now..every time I watch it I have to walk outside and look across to the Highlands.(I live right on the shore)..and I think to myself..dispite everything else thats going on in my life..I can't think of a better place then this to sort it all out..thanks again for sharing those photos with us..
Cape Breton Island is now rated the 4th. ( out of 10 ) most beautiful Islands in the world to visit . There is something awsome liveing 200 feet from the Ocean . The view from ny front deck is the ocean , I am blessed for sure .Thanks for shareing .
For those of you who asked about the music...the first fiddle song is "Pleasures of Home" by the Cottars. The second song is "Leis An Lurgainn" or Boat Song by the Rankin Family. Sorry if I don't reply to messages..whenever I try my computer freaks out and I don't know if it sent, lol. Thanks for watching!
beautiful video.cape breton is a beautiful place to live.watching it makes me miss my daughter and grand daughter more though as they just moved away.too bad cape breton didnt have much to offer in jobs though
It really seems like a good place to live or visit. I sure wouldn't mind to live there, i love places where you can be more close to nature. Good video, take care ;)
I was born and still live on Cape Breton island myself and haven't really been anywhere else. Cape Breton is and always will be my home, There is know where I would rather be.
I recenty as of Mar'06 have move to Edmonton from Nova Scotiua an this video is truley a masterpice. Makes me cry. Too bad the economy is to bad or I'd never leave this fairland.I be back some day.
Very nice. Thanks to Leona for commenting on FB.

Half of my family is up in Cape Breton,

Great job. < 3
Makes me remember why I love it there, and why I miss Nova Scotia.
