Early years

Callum was an insurance agent.

Rugby Football

Callum played rugby union for the Melrose Club and represented Wellington in 1905 and 1907.

Rugby League

Callum was selected for the professional All Blacks in their 1907–08 tour of Great Britain and Australia. Like all members of the tour, Gilchrist subsequently received a life ban from the New Zealand Rugby Union. Callum barely played on the tour and instead assisted Albert Baskerville in an administrative capacity. Despite this he played in two test matches near the end of the tour, when injuries had taken their toll.
