In Nova Scotia Gaelic speakers often call Scotland An t-Seann Dùthaich (The Old Country) and call Canada An Dùthaich Ùr (The New Country).
It is easy to see buaidh na Seann Dùthcha (the influence of the Old Country) on the placenames.
There are many places, especially in Nova Scotia and Cape Breton, which were named after places in Scotland, for example:
Dùn Bheagan
Dunvegan
Mòrar
Morar
Sruighlea
Stirling
Dùn Deagh
Dundee
Glaschu Ùr no Am Baile Beag
New Glasgow
Inbhir Nis no An Sìthean
Inverness
An t-Òban
Oban
Gleann Ailpein
Glen Alpine
Cnòideart
Knoydart
Gleanna Gàradh

Some of the places were named in English but there is tionndadh Gàidhlig (a Gaelic version) as well.
