Zoom has cheap flights between Halifax and Glasgow ... unfortunaely it's schedule is seasonal ... ferrie's, none from Britain and Canada, it's a pretty big ocean between us .... PEI is now joined to the mainline by a bridge, no need for a ferry anymore (free to drive over, $70 per car to drive off the island) .... in case you are unaware, Cape Breton is connected to the mainland by a causeway for some years now.

If you want Acadian music you have forgotten the north shore of New Brunswick.

Gaspe is worth the trip in the autumn ... in fact if you schedule a trip in the fall you can catch the Celtic Colours festival in Cape Breton (October 6th - 14th) ... there is a post floating around the Cat regarding this festival.
