Mabou

Mabou sits at the mouth of the Mabou River on Cape Breton Island in Nova Scotia, where a tidal harbour opens toward the Gulf of St. Lawrence. This Inverness County community is closely tied to the island’s Scottish Gaelic heritage, expressed through fiddle music, step dancing and ceilidhs. The Rankin Family came from Mabou and helped bring Cape Breton’s fiddle-based music to audiences far beyond the island. Wooded hills and wetland edges accompany the river as it approaches the harbour, while the coast lies along Cape Breton’s western shore.
