Historia biográfica
The Caledonian Society of London was established in about 1837 with the objective:
.... 'to promote good fellowship and brotherhood, and to combine efforts for benevolent and national objects connected with Scotland, also to preserve the picturesque garb of Old Gaul'...
from 'The Chronicles of the Caledonian Society of London 1837-1905' page 2
The Society has supported Scottish charities in London since its establishment and assisted with the foundation of The London Scottish Regiment in 1859.
As well as financial support, between 1890 and 1967 the Society published 'The Chronicles of the Caledonian Society' essentially an historical account of the Society detailing proceedings and including biographies of former Presidents and senior members of the committee.
Membership is limited to 100 and members must be Scotsmen of men with close connections to Scotland or Scottish Institutions.
The Society still continues to honour its original aims of goodfellowship and philanthropic interests by holding six dinners per session usually at The Caledonian Club near Hyde Park. The Dinners are a grand affair which include sentiments given by the principal guest and speakers and entertainments from singers and other musicians complementing the traditional piping. The Dinners help raise funds for the London-Scottish Charities Scotscare and The Royal Caledonian Education Trust.
