This is The Highland Village (Baile nan Gàidheal) in Iona. It's an interactive museum and folklife centre that tells stories of the Gaels of #NovaScotia. It's a beautiful spot for a visit. #CapeBreton

Emily's strong Gaelic ancestry has led her to prefect her skills in many traditional crafts. Her passion for Gaelic culture is reflected in not only her work but how she lives her daily life.

We wanted to show you all a peek at what has been happening since January. Inside the drywall is being installed and rooms are starting to take shape, while outside the siding is done and the ridge caps are going on the roof.
We can't wait for you to come and see it in person.
