NOTES [48 words]: Brule and St Peter's are in Nova Scotia. - BS
However, "Bruley" (also spelled "Brule" and "Brewley") is in Newfoundland, so this might be about Newfoundland, not Nova Scotia. There is no town of St. Peter's in Newfoundland that I can find, but there are landmarks named St. Peter's. - RBW
