TOP OF CHAPTER
Antigonish
Beautiful beaches and hiking possibilities north of town could easily keep you busy for a
couple of days, but Antigonish town is lively enough and has some great places to eat.
Catholic Scots settled and established St Francis Xavier University and today the uni-
versity still dominates the ambience of the town. Antigonish is known for the Highland
Games held each July since 1861.
