Strathspey Place
Strathspey Place is located on the Ceilidh Trail on western Cape Breton Island nestled among the rolling hills of Inverness County. The area was settled some 200 years ago by emigrants from Scotland who brought their music, their dance, and their language, known locally as “The Gaelic”, to the region. The descendants of these original Highland settlers have kept the culture alive and still speak the Scottish Gaelic of their ancestors.
The need to preserve and promote this unique and diverse cultural heritage brought community groups together to envision a facility which would be appropriate for the performance, production, and training requirements of the region. The result is Strathspey Place, located at the Allan J. MacEachen International Academic & Cultural Centre along with Dalbrae Academy.
