Kidston Island

Kidston Island, a 35-acre sliver of real estate providing protection for Baddeck harbour which lies within has had quite a storied past. It became the first white settlement in what eventually would become Baddeck when a retired British naval officer from Halifax by the name of James Duffus took up occupancy there in 1819.
