It’s a great little town! I was born and raised in Pictou and always enjoy returning home for a visit.
Great shots of special places to visit!
Hi Eileen, thanks so much for stopping by and leaving a comment. Great place to be from. 😉
I love the place. I live nearby. Almost every time I go there, I marvel at the houses, or notice some other thing I didn’t see before. Did you notice the old post office with the window in the chimney? I hope you had a great visit.
Hi Susan, thank you so much for stopping by and sharing your experience. Yes, as a matter of fact, I did see the P.O. with the chimney. I did indeed have a great visit, thank you. All the best, Mike
We visited and within a few years quit our jobs in the big city and moved our family to Pictou. The schools are the BEST and people kind and caring. Winter is cold but we couldn’t be more appreciative to live a place where you can see the ocean from so many vantage points.
Hey Theresa…thanks for stopping by and sharing your experience. All the best, Mike
Funny that you mention the Caribou lighthouse that is no longer there. And your first picture feathers the Northumberland Fisheries Museum with it’s museum and replica of the origional Carabou lighthouse, and the only lobster hatchery open to the public in Canada but not mention them.
Hey Gary, thanks for stopping by and sharing your thoughts…much appreciated. Cheers, Mike
My husbands parents lived in Pictou. It is wonderful for all the activities for the local community to take part in. The food is great. Sharon’s is the best neibourhood diner ever! Try to hit the lobster carnival each year.
With the new investment in the town things can only continue to get more interesting.
Hi Cat…thank you so much for stopping by and sharing your experience. Cheers, Mike
Love all the pictures that are posted about Pictou. My mom grew up there ( in the Tate House) so I heard about Pictou and everything in it my entire life…. and I am 72 now. We returned every summer for many years and I will be returning one of these days to spread my moms ashes on her grandmothers grave. She passed a couple of years ago at 93. So happy to see Pictou is being developed… I live in Thunder Bay in Ontario.
Hi Pam…thank you so much! I appreciate you stopping by and sharing your story. That’s very nice that your mom and grandmother will once again be reunited. All the best, Mike
Originally from Montreal, Quebec, we have now retired to Moncton, NB. In the last several years we have been exploring the Maritimes as much as we can and two summers ago, we did a drive along Nova Scotia’s Northumberland Shore, headed toward Cape Breton for a few days. We fell in love with Pictou and especially loved Mrs. MacGregor’s Shortbreads!! Thank you for re-kindling our romance for the scenic Northumberland Shore!! Although we have kept up our “friendship” with Mrs. MacGregor’s on Facebook, we must soon return for another taste of shortbread and Pictou!!
Hey Susan, thank you so much for stopping by and sharing your story, that’s awesome! All the best, Mike
I think I’ll make a trip when I go to Cape Breton!
Nice! Have you been to Nova Scotia before? I did not make it to Cape Breton when I was there, but hope to go there one day. Hope you have a great time. Cheers, Mike
We are heading to Nova Scotia next money, appreciate the tips.
Thank you for the useful tips! We are hoping that things get back to normal and that we can visit Nova Scotia in July. Would you have a campground to recommend near Pictou. We have a 20ft trailer and would love to camp near this beautiful town for 2-3 nights on our way to Cape Breton.
Hey Renee…my pleasure, thanks for stopping by. You and me both! I’m afraid not, but you might want to contact the town of Pictou, I’m sure they could be of help. https://www.townofpictou.ca/visitors-guide/ Hope you guys have a great time, I’m envious that you are going to Cape Breton, that’s a place I did not visit but really want to.
Visited July 2019 for Honeymoon. Stayed at the Customs house; beautiful granite building with wonderful host. His basement where he served breakfast was an awesome space
Ate at.Sharon’s with the Natives; met nice people.
Ate at sub place and they had some native meat dish with special sauce that I inquired about. Proprietor said ooh a virgin and proceeded to give
Us huge serving on the house.
We loved Pictou.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience. Pictou is indeed a lovely place to spend some time. Thanks for stopping by. Cheers, Mike
