Judique (Scottish Gaelic: Siùdaig Mhór)[1] is an unincorporated place within the Municipality of the County of Inverness on Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, Canada. It is the site of the Celtic Music Interpretive Centre and a stop on the scenic Ceilidh Trail.
The origin of the name, pronounced /dʒuːˈdɪk/, is uncertain though considered likely to be of Acadian French origin.[2]
Judique presents itself as a collection of buildings with Highway 19 as its main street.[3] It is on the western coast of Cape Breton Island, on the edge of St. George's Bay in the Gulf of Saint Lawrence.
Judique is the site of the Judique Historical Society Building a Maritime Vernacular styled house, notable as the last remaining Port Hood company house.[4]
