As today was Canada day, we expected the town to be
buzzing. It wasn’t, but no matter, we
cycled 7.5 miles to the Glenora Distillery, north of Mabou. This is currently the only distillery in
North America producing single malt whisky.
We took the tour, and of course had to sample some whisky. We had lunch at the distillery, and maybe one
of us sampled a little more! Then we
rode home.
In the evening we visited The Red Shoe
Pub. Many Cape Bretons have
Scottish ancestry and the Celtic traditions are still very much alive
here. Looking at the roadsigns, you may
think you were in Scotland since most of them are in Gaelic as well as
English. We had a delicious dinner and
then were entertained with a traditional Celtic music evening. The place was full of locals and it was
hopping – square dancing and all.
