If you've never seen it up close and personal but have harboured a long standing desire to visit Oak Island, you will get your chance this weekend. The Friends of Oak Island Society is holding another weekend of tours of the famous Island. Society spokesman Charles Barkhouse says Oak Island and the legend of Captain Kidd's buried treasure is known world-wide but the locals are somewhat lacking in THEIR knowledge about it. He says it's under appreciated by Nova Scotians in general. Barkhouse they want to bring more awareness about the island and they have the cooperation of the owners as far as opening it up to the public to let people see what the story is all about. The Society hosted an earlier weekend tour in July and Barkhouse says there was an overwhelming response. This weekend's tours will be at 10am, 2 and 5pm Saturday and Sunday.
