Happy Canada Day!
Scotland and Canada have long been connected
through people, place names, and shared heritage.
From the Highland clearances to waves of emigration in the 18th and 19th centuries, thousands of Scots crossed the Atlantic and helped shape modern Canada.
You’ll find Scottish roots in cities like Nova Scotia (New Scotland), Cape Breton, Glengarry, and beyond. Canada’s first Prime Minister, Sir John A. Macdonald, was born in Glasgow and even today, Scottish culture is alive in Canadian music, place names, and traditions.
Here’s to a bond that spans oceans and centuries.
