Happy Holidays!
Even though the holidays are here, we are busy planning our Society events! Please renew your membership for 2026, or consider joining our Society. Whether you are Scottish by birth, heritage or inclination, we welcome all to our non-profit organization. The annual general meeting is coming up on January 3rd at Westwood First Presbyterian Church. Please register using the link so we know how many people are attending. It’s free! We also have Burns Night Supper tickets available with early bird pricing until January 14th. We sold out last year so don’t delay ordering tickets.
Céad Mìle Fà ilte!
Founded in 1827, the Caledonian Society of Cincinnati is the oldest Scottish society in continuous existence in the United States.
Established to aid indigent Scottish immigrants settling in the Cincinnati area, the Society has, for nearly two centuries, served as a steadfast steward of Scottish heritage. Today, the Caledonian Society of Cincinnati is a 501(c)3 charitable organization dedicated to preserving, celebrating, and sharing the rich culture, history, and traditions of Scotland through education, music, dance, and community engagement.
Our Mission:
The mission of the Caledonian Society of Cincinnati is to create, stimulate and sustain an interest in Scotland, to educate the public about Scottish heritage; to provide educational and entertaining events that share and promote Scottish culture; promote goodwill and understanding among its members and the general public and to perform such charitable works and scholarships as may be reasonably possible and appropriate.
