Stand on the grassy rise where Scottish colonists arrived nearly four centuries ago in 1629.

Imagine the hardscrabble lives of early settlers and the struggles that ensued as Europe’s powers rivalled for supremacy in North America. All that reminds us of Charles Fort today is a plaque on the grounds of Fort Anne National Historic Site; but, gazing out over the Annapolis River, visitors gain a window into Canadian history.
