"CALDER, or CAWDOR, a parish partly in Inverness-shire, but chiefly in Nairnshire. It contains a post-office village of its own name. It lies along the river Nairn to within 2 miles of its mouth, but sends off a wing to the distance of about 16 miles across the Findhorn. Its extent along the Nairn is between 3 and 4 miles; and its extent in the opposite direction, irrespective of the long wing, varies from 1 to 5 miles. Part of it is intersected by the burn of Calder, flowing among most beautiful and romantic scenery to the Nairn."
from the Imperial Gazetteer of Scotland, edited by John Marius Wilson, 1868.
The parish church (Established Church of Scotland) has records dating from 1719.
