D'Escousse

Grande Anse in Nova Scotia

D'Escousse is situated on the north-eastern side of Isle Madame. It is on Nova Scotia Route 320. It has had a church since 1845. It was a settlement in the early 18th century. Ships would enter the D'Escousse harbour from the Grandique Ferry and Lennox Passage. Well-known yachtsman and author Silver Donald Cameron is a resident.[1]

The village, like others on Isle Madame, is intrinsically linked to Acadian history in North America.[2]
