Clan MacInnes Markers in Antigonish
Cairn Park at the west end of Main Street in Antigonish, Nova Scotia is dedicated to the Pioneer Clan families that began settling in Eastern Nova Scotia in the late 18th Century. Each Clan is represented by a Cairn. A Cairn is a placement of stones or a single large stone that represents a specific event, people or geographic boundary.
This cairn is a Clan MacInnes Marker in the shape of Kinlochaline Castle made of rocks donated by Clan MacInnes descendants. Each family has a story behind their stone and family which are listed below. The stories are inside a container that is inside the cairn.
The cairn was dedicated 12 July 2013 in Antigonish, Nova Scotia. Canada.
