It's probably possible in some form...I'm probably going to be shot down in flames by those with more experience.

You would definately need a *lot* of assistance along the way.

Factor in the following:-
1. Spend some time training in the US/Canada - including an IR rating, license conversion and gaining experience with some of the conditions that you are likely to experience.
2. Use an experienced ferry pilot to fly the aircraft from Cape Breton to Scotland for you.
3. Do the numbers on purchasing the aircraft for later resale in Europe at the end of the trip.
4. Find a very understanding insurance company, or two, or three.
