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.
