Scotstown

Scotstown offers different ways to spend your stay: La Shed is dedicated to regional art and local history, while Parc municipal Walter-MacKenzie offers opportunities for cycling and hiking through Parc du Marécage des Scots. There is also a network of four themed heritage tours. This lets you balance your travel interests between art, local history, and outdoor activities.

Art and memories at La Shed

La Shed displays reproductions of works by regional artists Djinn and Fédérick. If you are interested in art from the region, these works offer a way to get to know Scotstown through its artists, too. They are reproductions, so the works on display should not be mistaken for originals. Their regional connection gives your visit a specific focus, rather than treating art as a general subject.

To explore local history, La Shed displays historical photos, stories, and keepsakes. These different forms offer different perspectives: images and objects bring the past to life, while the stories provide further insight into Scotstown’s history. Together with the art reproductions, they make for a visit where you can discover both regional artworks and memories of the place. If you would like to include cultural experiences in your trip, La Shed offers a clearly defined place to start.

Four themed heritage tours

As part of Balados Découverte, Scotstown has a network of four themed heritage tours. These themes add another dimension to the cultural offerings: rather than focusing only on the works and keepsakes displayed at La Shed, you can also make the tours a focus of their own. Their thematic approach offers a way to explore the town’s heritage. Which themes you choose may depend on whether you are especially drawn to art, stories and historical records, or the tours themselves.

By the water and on the move

Parc municipal Walter-MacKenzie is in the heart of the village of Scotstown, on the banks of the Rivière au Saumon. From there, you can cycle or hike through Parc du Marécage des Scots. This puts two ways of getting around at the forefront: you can explore the area by bike or go for a hike. When planning your day, it helps to consider in advance which option better suits the activities you are looking for during your stay. Both are explicitly associated with Parc municipal Walter-MacKenzie.

La Shed is also in the heart of the village and offers a view of the Rivière au Saumon. The river thus shapes both the setting of Parc municipal Walter-MacKenzie and the view from La Shed. These two locations complement different visitor interests: the park is a starting point for cycling and hiking through Parc du Marécage des Scots, while La Shed combines a view of the river with art and local history.
