Welcome to Cawdor Heritage Group!

Formed in 1991 we are a group of volunteers who are dedicated to recording local and family history in Cawdor. We welcome new members, visitors and guests to our regular meetings. In 2026 we will celebrate our 35th anniversary.

The Cawdor Heritage Group is a charity (SCO19919) whose aim is to advance education by preserving and promoting interest in the heritage of Cawdor and the surrounding area.

Since 1991 we have built a large collection of local and family history records for Cawdor and Nairnshire. These include school admission records and log books, Census returns from 1841 to 1911, Church records and many reminiscences.

In 2016 we were delighted to mark our 25th anniversary by beginning to publish a series of books and booklets. The first of these was A History of Cawdor Parish which provided an insight into centuries of life in the area.
