The shoot was intended to provide updated digital images of the site and to get shots of the site not previously taken. Two flights were made—in the morning around 10am and around 4pm— to provide two different lighting environments.

  • Land and Belonging in Gaelic Nova Scotia
    “Dh’fheumadh iad àit’ a dheanamh” (They would have to make a Place): LAND AND BELONGING IN GAELIC NOVA SCOTIA © Shamus Y. MacDonald A thesis submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Folklore Memorial University of Newfoundland December 2017 St. John’s Newfoundland and Labrador Abstract: This thesis explores the way land has been perceived, described and experienced by Scottish Gaels in Nova Scotia. It examines how attitudes towards land are maintained and perpetuated through oral traditions and how oral history, legends and place names have fostered a sense of belonging in an adopted environment. Drawing on archival research and contemporary ethnographic fieldwork in Gaelic and English, it explores how people give anonymous aspects of the natural and built environment meaning, how personal and cultural significance is attached to landscapes, and how oral traditions contribute to a sense of place. Exploring a largely unofficial tradition, my thesis includes a survey of Gaelic place names in Nova Scotia that shows how settlers and their descendants have interpreted their surroundings and instilled them with a sense of Gaelic identity. It also considers local traditions about emigration and settlement, reflecting on the messages these stories convey to modern residents and how they are used to construct an image of the past that is acceptable to the present. Given its focus on land, this work investigates the protective attitude towards property long ascribed to Highland Gaels in the province, considering local perspectives of this claim and evaluating its origins.

  • Gabarus Is in a Class by Itself in Nova Scotia
    Nova Scotia — Lieutenant Governor’s Community Spirit Award The term “Community Spirit,” defined as the ability to collaborate, cooperate, and mutually sacrifice to achieve a common end, is what propels societies forward. That is the true meaning of “Community Spirit” and its ultimate measure is how this energy radiates to enrich and improve not just an individual community but the larger society to which it belongs. Using this definition of Community Spirit, Gabarus is in a class by itself in Nova Scotia. With a winter population of 60 and a summer population of about 250, Gabarus has defied the odds by becoming one of the few communities in Cape Breton to grow. It has done so by successfully integrating the existing 300 year old fishing community with an eclectic mix of newcomers including successful business people, electrical and environmental engineers, scientists, authors, entrepreneurs, nurses, doctors etc. It is this combination of old and new that gives Gabarus its palpable energy and confidence. In terms of reaching out to the broader community Gabarus has developed a successful and exportable model for gaining public support for needed construction of an enormous sea wall to protect our harbour and its precious fishing industry. This task was thought impossible by all the pundits but they underestimated the national and international constituency that would be assembled behind this project. This effort garnered the support of Canadians coast to coast and people from around the world. The same holds true of our successful efforts to save our Heritage Lighthouse and move it to safer ground. This effort involved not just significant fund raising but garnered national and international press coverage.

  • Abstracts with Names Arne Anderdal and Jo Asgeir Lie
    Abstracts with Names Arne Anderdal and Jo Asgeir Lie RUNDDANS MUSIC ON HARDANGER FIDDLE The Hardanger fiddle is a string instrument with four top strings and four or five sympathetic strings. The instrument emerged during the 1600s, and was used to play dance music and ceremonial music in duple and triple meter; this music was transferred from other instruments. This music and dance are still very widespread. From the late 1700s to the end of the 1800s, dances and music which were termed runddans came to Norway from Europe and became established as an important part of the popular repertoire in the country. There are many different versions of these dances, but the main types are vals, polka, masurka, and reinlender. Runddans music was played on fiddle and Hardanger fiddle, as well as on instruments such as diatonic and chromatic button accordion. When Norway became an independent state in 1905, the country was to be constructed using “old”, authentic Norwegian culture, and in this context runddans music was regarded as too modern to be used as a building block. The oldest forms of music were given highest status, even though Hardanger fiddlers also played runddans music. In recent times, there has been a conviction that almost no runddans music existed in several of the areas where Hardanger fiddle has been used. But if one investigates historical records and archives, a great deal of runddans music that has a Hardanger fiddle style can be found. This confirms that a great variety of music was played on Hardanger fiddle. What was the effect of the ideological use of folk music on the music world in Norway during the period leading up to 1940? Pat Ballantyne SCOTTISH DANCING MASTERS: PUTTING A KILT ON IT This paper considers the role of Scottish dancing masters in the adoption of new dances in nineteenth- and early twentieth century Scotland.

  • Community Profile
    COMMUNITY PROFILE The community of Glace Bay can be found hugging the eastern coastline of Cape Breton Island. The island is located on the north eastern tip of Nova Scotia and joined to the mainland by a rock-filled causeway. Alexander Graham Bell, who spent many years living in Cape Breton, once said, " I have seen the Canadian and American Rockies, the Andes, the Alps and the Highlands of Scotland, but for simple beauty, Cape Breton out rivals them all." Bell's sentiment has recently been echoed by a number of travel writers who have extolled Cape Breton not only for its unsurpassed physical beauty but also for the friendliness and generosity of its people. Travel and Leisure Magazine has ranked Cape Breton as the number one (1) island to visit in the continental US and Canada. National Geographic has described Cape Breton as "the most scenic island in the world" and has called it one of the "50 places of a lifetime" to visit. During the 2016 American election campaign the island garnered worldwide attention when a local radio DJ's tongue-in- cheek website suggested Cape Breton as a place for Americans to move if Trump becomes President. The so-called "Trump Bump" was a boom for local tourism. Glace Bay was incorporated as a town in 1901. In 1995, its municipal government was dissolved and Glace Bay joined six (6) other municipalities and the County of Cape Breton to form a larger municipal unit known as the Cape Breton Regional Municipality (CBRM). The CBRM covers 2,470 square kilometers and is home to approximately 94,000 residents.
