From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Ceilidh Trail runs 107 km (67 mi.) from the Canso Causeway to Margaree Harbour on the Cabot Trail, along the west coast of Cape Breton Island. Most of the route follows Nova Scotia provincial highway 19.
This area's Scottish heritage dates back to the beginning of the 19th century. Cèilidh (IPA: [ˈkʲʰeːlʲi]) is Gaelic for "party".

- Inverness, home of the Ceilidh Trail School of Celtic Music
- the Mabou Highlands
