Chester Caledonian Association
Welcome to the Chester Caledonian Association. Founded in 1884, it is one of the oldest Scottish societies in England
Membership
We are open to everyone. Our members live in the Chester area and are of Scottish descent or enjoy an interest in Scotland and its culture. Together with our fellow Cestrians, we celebrate Scottish traditions on appropriate occasions throughout the year.
These events are very sociable and consolidate the fellowship and good company which underpin our Association, as well as generating funds for the benefit of Scottish and local charities.
If you would like to share your interests through our programme of social events then please join us.

Our Aims
To maintain and foster Scottish traditions and culture in the Chester area.
-
To provide opportunities and organise social events which promote interest in the language, literature and music of Scotland, and all the best elements of good fellowship.
-
To support charitable organisations which seek to preserve and promote Scottish culture and which provide help to the needy in both Scotland and in Chester and district.
Charities we support
For many years, we have raised funds through our activities and events, which have benefited a number of charities, both locally and Scotland based.
In 2021, because of uncertainties around COVID we have restricted our charitable donations. We are supporting one donation, to:
-
Hospice of the Good Shepherd - Helping Families in West Cheshire & Deeside with Specialist Palliative Care (President's choice).
