 | | Nova Scotia, one of the three Maritime and one of the four Atlantic provinces of Canada, bordered on the north by the Bay of Fundy, the province of New Brunswick, Northumberland Strait, and the Gulf of St Lawrence and on the east, south, and west by the Atlantic Ocean. |
 | | Nova Scotia consists primarily of a mainland section, linked to New Brunswick by the Isthmus of Chignecto, and Cape Breton Island, separated from the mainland by the Strait of Canso. |
 | | Nova Scotia is sometimes known as the Land of Evangeline, a reference to “Evangeline” (1847), a long narrative poem by the American poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, about the expulsion of the French-speaking Acadians from the area in 1755. |
