Wilson's Point Historic Site
At the point where the North and South Branches of the Miramichi River converge lies the nationally recognized and protected heritage site with a panoramic view. Make your way to the end of the Enclosure Road where you will find a hidden little gem in the form of Wilson’s Point Historic Site. The Earliest English speaking settlers (Scottish) who arrived in 1765 lived, socialized, did business and were buried here. Their history is lovingly preserved by The Scottish Heritage Association Miramichi who have restored the original grave sites including that of founding father William Davidson, the historic walking trails, installed a wharf, trading post and built an interpretive center. Wilson's Point Historic Point not only contains the Scottish Ancestry of the river, but also has great archeological significance and deep rooted connections to the Mi'kmaq peoples, as well as, the French, Acadians and Loyalists who have all helped establish the rich history of this beautiful river region dating well beyond three thousand years.

What a wild adventure today was.
Our 4th Great Miramichi Haggis Hunt and Fall Fair was definitely the best yet!
We could not have done it without some phenomenal vendors who traveled near and far and had deal with the wind. You folks are amazing and we can’t wait to have you back next year.
Thank you to Piper David and his lovely wife Kim, all of the Women of the Point, our Scottish Storyteller Calum Lykan and Neil Wallace aka William Wallace for being the answers to some of our scavenger hunt questions, posing for photos and being part of the day.
Big thanks to Gill for cooking up a storm this week and making enough soup to feed the army and to Naomi for helping to serve it.
To Leslie who sat in the cold selling tickets, and Steph, Darren and Isaiah for helping set up, tear down and direct traffic. You folks never fail to step up and lend a hand and we love you for it.
To the Walsh Family/ Healing Farm we have loved having you as part of of Wilson’s Point Family and will miss you, but are so glad you’re getting to relax and enjoy life a little bit more.
As always the Miramichi Accessible transit crew carried everyone safely to and from the parking areas and made our event more accessible for all.
Big thanks to Northern Green for clearing our market are of pine needles and cones at the last minute and to Williston’s Toilets for bringing in some extra units this week for us. Both these companies are amazing to work with.

To our crew who returned on their long weekend to help out, Ireland, Thomas, Caileigh, Marty and Ashley and our three little extras who were roped in to assist, Eli, Angela and Caden. You out did yourselves today. Thanks for being so wonderful and making the day stress free.
To the Queen bee and our second in command in training Marlee and Kalen, thanks for listening to all the rants and worries and for knocking this one out of the park. There is no way this could have gotten done without you.
Thanks to all of our hunters and visitors for coming out, supporting our vendors, purchasing raffle tickets and being patient while waiting on water to boil. We’re pretty sure or haggis survived for another year, and we hope you’ll all be back again next Fall.
