Goodness! The locals will be tickled to have anyone in a kilt, after all, this is Nova SCOTIA.

Let us know when you're in the area, and maybe a kilt night can be put together. I highly recommend The Old Triangle in Halifax for any get together.

I'll add that seeing the Tidal Bore at Amherst should be added to you 'must see' list. It's quite the sight to see the tide come so far inland along the river. You could even try rafting the bore, but I think the season will be over soon.

I've seen it both higher and lower depending on springs or neaps.
