Pictou, Nova Scotia Pictou is a lovely seaport on the north end of the Nove Scotia peninsula with a ferry serving Prince Edward Island. When we arrived, after a long drive from Glace Bay, it was already too late to do more than have dinner and find our B&B, Rose Cottage. Rose Cottage is a very nice farmhouse B&B. We were shown a photo of five bald eagles perched in the tree next to the gazebo in the Rose Cottage yard (below).
