Protestantism came to the Miramichi between 1765 and 1800 with the arrival of Scottish Immigrants. The first Presbyterian Church on the river was established at Wilson’s Point after 1792. The first Minister was the Rev. John Urquhart, who held services on alternate Sundays at Wilson’s Point and a second church at Moorfield. Rev. Urquhart drowned in 1814 while crossing the Miramichi River.

MacDonald Farm Provincial Heritage Site
Opening for the season June 28, 2022 from Tuesday to Sunday 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
A Must-See cultural attraction located in Bartibog in a pastoral setting overlooking the Miramichi River. A tour of the restored property, in the company of costumed guides, will take you back to the 1820s when the family of Scottish settler, Alexander MacDonald, helped to develop the area. Visit the grand manor house made of Scottish stone, savour the smells of traditional foods, view embroidery and domestic crafts, and observe gardening and the daily care of farm animals.
Wilson's Point ~ At the Enclosure
Wilson's Point is a site with great significance to the history of Miramichi. Many of the earliest English speaking settlers lived and were buried in this area and it holds the history of our Scottish ancestors.

The season is growing short, this is our last full weekend under the pines for this year.
The colors are still vibrant so it’s a perfect time for family and grad photos.
Walk with a Scot will take place this Sunday on a smaller scale with Storyteller Calum regaling you with tales of the brave Scotsmen and women who sought adventure in a new land. He’ll greet you in front of the church beginning at 1pm weather permitting, otherwise he’ll be inside the little church.
Wednesday is our last workshop of the season. Sign up before Monday at noon for a Frazzled Christmas with Gill Wallace. Call or email now so you don’t miss out.
One week from tonight curl up in the little church as Calum taps into the deepest recesses of your imagination and chills you to the bone with Scottish Bedtime Stories- Not for the Faint of Heart. Trust us, this one is worth the night out. Feast on Gill’s fudge and shortbreads which are included with the price of admission. $15/person reservations by etransfer use our Wilson’s Point email for the recipient.
We are down to only 2 seats available for the Hidden Gem Christmas Tea 330pm seating. This is always a sell out. Call to find out how to reserve your spot at the table.
We’ll be starting a bit late this morning. We hope to be oorn before noon. Come enjoy the trails until we arrive. See you soon! ☺️
