Atlas Obscura featured the grave of Angus MacAskill, known as the Giant MacAskill or the Cape Breton Giant, in a small cemetery in Englishtown, Nova Scotia. MacAskill was born in 1825 on the Isle of Berneray in Scotland's Outer Hebrides and emigrated to Nova Scotia as a child. He settled in the fishing community of Englishtown and became internationally famous in the 19th century for his extraordinary height and strength. The feature was a historical profile and reported no new events.
