Bucklaw is a small community in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia, located in Victoria County on Cape Breton Island.[1][2] Early settlers in Bucklaw included Neil McIvor, who received a land grant in 1835, and Donald McIvor, who received a land grant in 1871.[1]

The presence of salt springs in Bucklaw led to an attempt at salt mining in 1922.[1]
