Lochaber Mines is a rural community on the Eastern Shore of Nova Scotia, Canada, in the Halifax Regional Municipality.[1] It is located along Route 374 about 14 km (8.7 mi) northeast of Sheet Harbour. The community is located along East River and is near the Marshall Flowage, a large lake at the head of East River.[2][3] The community is named for Lochaber, located in Scotland.[4] In 1812, Alexander Fraser received a grant of land in the area.[4] Several gold leads were opened by J.H. Anderson in 1887 in the area, however, not much work was done outside of exploratory work.[4]
