Wasn't Peter McKay raised in New Glasgow? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.222.40.87 ( talk) 20:57, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
I propose to move Pictou, Nova Scotia to Pictou. The move meets the criteria at the naming convention at WP:CANSTYLE, the town is the primary use, and Pictou already redirects here.-- Skeezix1000 ( talk) 01:01, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
I wonder why it is called that? Ok, there was a lot of Scotish immigration from 1770s onwards in Pictou, but that was the case for many other parts of Nova Scotia too, wasnt it? And several towns were founded decades earlier, for example Annapolis Royal and Halifax. Or is the reason for this name that the first major town with predominantly Sctoish heritage in Nova Scotia? Please can anyone clarifiy? Best regards, 50.99.191.156 ( talk) 13:25, 30 January 2015 (UTC)
The Hector Maclean, 7th Baronet and 23rd Chief of the Clan Maclean, is not the Maclean who emigrated to Canada. The 1998 article from the The Independent entitled "Country and Garden: Secrets of a mountain of wealth"Country and Garden: Secrets of a mountain of wealth," refers to a chieftain, not a chief--this is a substantial difference.
The Maclean you're actually looking for is Hector Maclean, 11th (and last) Chieftain of Kingerlock (see The Clan Gillean, page 283)

Could we add an IPA pronunciation of the name "Pictou", like on Antigonish? -- User:NovaBrunswick 00:13, 31 July 2016 (UTC)
