The Ceilidh Trail is a scenic roadway in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia.
This coastal route along the Gulf of St. Lawrence is located on the west coast of Cape Breton Island in Inverness County and runs 112 kilometres (70 mi) from the Canso Causeway in Port Hastings to Margaree Harbour where it intersects with the Cabot Trail.[1][2]
The region's Scottish heritage dates back to the beginning of the 19th century. Cèilidh (Scottish Gaelic pronunciation: [ˈkʲʰeːlɪ]) means a party, or an informal social gathering among neighbours and friends, often involving music, dancing and storytelling.[3][4]
