Shortly out of Baddeck we stopped at the Gaelic College of Celtic Arts and Crafts and walked through the museum of the clans.
There was to be a Kilt making demonstration shortly and I would have loved to watch it, but rain was being forecast for the afternoon and a rain warning for the late afternoon and we wanted to tour Fortress of Louisbourg today, so we left without seeing the demonstration.
We drove to Louisbourg and the rain began before we got there. The Louisbourg area was originally settled by cod fishers from France. Most of them were only there for the summer. The fortress was build to protect France's interest in the fishing industry.
