White Hill, Nova Scotia (original) (raw)
White Hill is located in Pictou County in the province of Nova Scotia, Canada. It was once a rural farming community with a history of Scottish settlement. The population is around 300. The area was first settled by John Marshall whose family came from Kirkcudbrightshire, Scotland in 1776. Descendants still live in Whitehill. During the early to mid 20th century farmers from the area worked in the forests during the winter to provide the coal mines with pit props in the nearby town of Westville. Today some of the area is still farmed, although most land has now reverted to forest.
