i read "CAPE BRETON HIGHLANDS",it is funny because in FRANCE ,"the bretons" (or "les bretons" in french) are the official name of the people who live in the area of FRANCE called LA BRETAGNE(north west coast of FRANCE)...and there is a city called CAPBRETON in FRANCE (south west coast of FRANCE.)
The French established the first permanent settlement here. Cape Breton was formally known as Île Royale. The French influence can still be seen today. Breton, as far as I know, is a french reference to Brittany.
