Canton of Kaldor Ness – Kingdom of An Tir

Who We Are

The Canton of Kaldor Ness is the local chapter of the Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA) in Columbia County, Oregon USA. We are part of the Kingdom of An Tir.
The SCA is a world-wide, non-profit organization of history minded recreationists. The SCA is a practical history society, recreating the arts and skills of pre-17th century Europe. While dressed in clothing of the Middle Ages and Renaissance, you can experience tournaments, royal courts, feasts, and dancing. You also have the opportunity to learn and practice ancient arts and skills — calligraphy, cooking, armoring, metalworking, carpentry, and needlework (to name just a few) — within an all-ages social group.
The SCA is a great place to make friends and learn transferable skills. Come and “get medieval” with us for fun!

The Canton of Kaldor Ness is the SCA Branch located in Columbia County Oregon. We welcome all who are interested in history, community, and discovering the middle ages and Renaissance. Please contact us, we love company!

Our name is taken from the Scottish Borderlands and translates loosely as “the nose of land between the river and the woods” We are a canton of the Society of Creative Anachronism, meaning that we are a smaller branch that works closely with a larger baronial branch. For us that branch is the Barony of Three Mountains (Portland, OR Metro Area).

Our device (our branch “logo”) is an heraldic monster called a pantheon who is white with purple stars and a red rope knot at the bottom on a golden point. The blazon (heraldic description) for this is: “Gules, a pantheon rampant to sinister argent mullety of six points purpure, maintaining between its forelegs a laurel wreath argent, on a point pointed Or a Heneage knot gules”.
