Caledonian Market

[Top-of-the-hill]

  Browsing the local newspapers for the early 1930s, I found a list of all the local village contributions to the hospital building fund. A large number of the villages raised money with a Caledonian Market. I am guessing this was a fashionable name for a bazaar/sale of work, but they raised a decent amount of money. Any other thoughts?

  Thank you for those - the "bric-a-brac" thing certainly seems to relate, and the date is about right.
