Discover Scotstown’s Cœur villageois

As you drive through this village, you must stop by the Charcuterie Scotstown, a family business where you’ll find an impressive variety of artisanal charcuteries. Dried goods, hams, sausages, pancetta, capicollo… Fill your basket with their products and enjoy these savoury morsels in the Walter—Mackenzie Park while admiring Mount Mégantic in the background. You can then walk across the town which was once a Scottish fief and discover ancestral homes and industrial buildings which tell the story of Scotstown. Are you an outdoor sports enthusiast? Take advantage of the Marécage des Scots regional park or Mount Megantic’s National Park nearby.
