Beinn Bhreagh

Beinn Bhreagh (/ˌbɛn ˈvriːə/ ben VREE-ə) is the name of the former estate of Alexander Graham Bell, in Victoria County, Nova Scotia, Canada.

The name Beinn Bhreagh—meaning "Beautiful Mountain" in Scottish Gaelic—is thought to have been given to the peninsula by Bell, who purchased approximately 242.8 hectares (600 acres) to form the estate in the late 1880s.

In July 2005, the Nova Scotia Civic Address Project review changed the status of Beinn Bhreagh from a "generic locality" to a "community".

Designed as a submarine chaser and powered by aircraft engines, their vessel set a world watercraft speed record of 114 km/h (71 mph) in 1919, which remained unbroken for many years.

Perhaps as a result, both Beinn Bhreagh or Baddeck, the nearest town, are prominently displayed in National Geographic maps of the area, despite their relatively small size.

The second and larger home, Beinn Bhreagh Hall (known locally as "The Point") was built in 1893 on the Beinn Bhreagh estate of Alexander Graham & Mabel Bell at Baddeck, Cape Breton Island , Nova Scotia.
