THE MEANING OF CALLANT

The Scots dictionary states that the word 'callant' simply means ' a young man or lad of the town'.
Though the Callants Club is entirely a male organisation not all members will fall into the category of being 'young men'. Nor is it that all members were born in the town, many of our members have worn the club badge with pride having come to live in Peebles from outwith the Royal and Ancient Burgh.

HISTORY OF PEEBLES

“The History of Peebles” by Callant Joe Brown is available for free download if you have a Amazon Kindle. (Amazon conditions apply).

This comprehensive work on the Royal Burgh of Peebles is both a fascinating social and local history.

(Webmaster note - You dont have to have a Kindle device to read kindle books you can also get the Kindle app for your phone, tablet or PC! (CLICK HERE!)

The Royal Burgh of Peebles Callants club was formed in 1935 with its core and substance based around the Peebles Beltane Festival. But why did the club celebrate its 50th anniversary in 1985 and not 1986? Find out why in the Callants book 'From Humble Beginnings' Available from the Callants Secretary. Find out how the five founding members established a constitution that has changed little over the years.

The book along with this website will give you a small insight into what the club does in and around the Scottish Borders town of Peebles.
