Chester Caledonian Association
Welcome to the Chester Caledonian Association. Founded in 1884, it is one of the oldest Scottish societies in England
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 Next event - Dinner and Whisky Tasting on Monday the 23rd June at Chester Golf Club (Curzon Park).
As well as an excellent meal, there will be a glass of five different malt whiskies to wet your whistle.
Along the way there will be light-hearted talk entitled Whisky – Wit and Wisdom by our very own David Murdoch covering the humorous and philosophical aspects of whisky, e.g.
-
What’s the link between parrots and whisky?
-
Why did Tommy Dewar request six pounds of Lipton’s tea?
-
Why did twelve immaculately dressed men ask for Buchanans?
-
Was there really a whisky called King Victoria’s Sporran?
Further details will follow in due course but make a note of the date and remember, everyone is welcome.
Save the Date - Our next superb Burns Dinner is booked for Saturday the 31st of January 2026. Pipes will be piped, Haggis will be addressed, whisky will be drunk and musicians have been booked. More details in due course. But get the date in your diary. See below and click here
