According to the centenary book, “Caley All the Way” , the name was “no doubt chosen by the proximity of the Caledonian Canal”, which had been completed 30 years prior to Caleys formation.

 

So not certain then?  There must be somebody out there that knows? 
Caley had a magic about them.

That farcical merger with Thistle ( when Caley could easily have entered the Scottish league alone )  has made Inverness lose its soul in footballing terms.

Even the site of Caley’s new stadium is a disaster.

I’m not sure if it’s from Caledonian as in Hibernian ( Hibs) or because Telford Street Park backed on to the Caledonian canal?

Does anyone know where the name Caledonian came from?

I pop into this thread every now and then, so apologies if I've missed it, but a few questions for Inverness football folk

1- Is it mostly Caledonian fans who are bitter about the merger? Did Thistle fans have the same animosity?

2- Did many then go to watch Clach afterwards?

3- Why didn't a Caledonian FC (1995) get set up by the fans to remain in the Highland League?

4- See question number 5

5- See question number 4
