Did you know?
The Scottish pioneers who arrived here in the 1830s found landscapes that reminded them of the rolling hills of Scotland. The land they cleared now serves as the setting for period films such as Savage State and Ésimésac.
Around 1849, a group of settlers from Glenelg, Scotland, founded Lost River, a small village on the hillside by the Lost River (Rivière Perdue in French). The river was so named because, a few miles from its source, it disappears under a limestone rock between Gate Lake and Fraser Lake.
