Perfect day to do some shopping at McCulloch House....

We are very proud of our Ship Hector Tartan--it was designed by Janice Gammon of Lyons Brook, Pictou County, NS and registered in Scotland in 1999. Each colour has a meaning. White - for the white caps and rough seas the Ship Hector endured. Blue - for the settlers’ loyalty to their homeland of Scotland. Green - for the evergreen trees that grew to the water’s edge when they arrived.... Black - for the lives lost on the journey. Gold - for the rising golden sun of a new day in a new land. We have blankets, scarves and ties available--made in Scotland just for you. All items can be ordered at www.shiphector.ca

We still have a few Hector Hearts, made from the 'knees' on the ship, available. The cost is $250 and you receive an income tax receipt for $200....a totally unique Christmas gift !

Exciting day at the Quay.....We welcomed our FIRST and LAST bus tour of the year today ! Thank you Atlantic Tours for dropping by !
