Prince Edward Island is a beautiful island, with on the West coast estuaries or rivers harbouring yachts and fishing boats. The Eastern Atlantic coast consists of sand-dunes, which are subjected to storms and drifting sands. No wonder the young couple from Dumfries failed to make a living there. Icebergs from Greenland come floating along between the island and the mainland, necessitating and icebreaker type of ferryboat on the Northern route. P.E.I. supplies the mainland with potatoes.
Lobster fishing is another industry.
One sees wooden cradle-like lobster pots outside houses for sale, made during the winter months. Breeding of foxes for their pelts used to be prevalent. I spoke to the President of the Clan McLellan by telephone from Halifax in 1979, when we attended the Clan Gathering in Halifax. Antigonish, a stronghold of Catholicism, has a splendid University, which we visited in the same year. We found a Hall there devoted to the Clans, whose shields decorated the walls.
