The Grange, Edinburgh
The Grange (originally St Giles' Grange) is a suburb of Edinburgh, about one and a half miles south of the city centre, with Morningside and Greenhill to the west, Newington to the east, and Marchmont to the north. It is a conservation area characterised by large late Victorian stone-built villas, often with very large gardens. Many have now been sub-divided into flats, with further flats often being built on the grounds.
==Superiors==
There are mentions of 'Sanct-Geill-Grange' in charters of King David and King Edgar, as church lands attached to St. Giles parish church in Edinburgh, the king retaining the superiority.〔Stewart-Smith, J., ''The Grange of St. Giles'', Edinburgh, 1898: 2〕 On June 16, 1376, King Robert II granted the superiority of the barony and lands of St Giles to his eldest son, John, Earl of Carrick, Steward of Scotland.〔''The Great Seal of Scotland'', 1306-1424: 27〕 In 1391 the estate was conferred upon the Wardlaw family.〔''The Great Seal of Scotland'', 1306-1424: 40〕
On October 29, 1506, St Giles Grange passed to John Cant, a Burgess of Edinburgh, and his spouse Agnes Carkettle,〔''The Great Seal of Scotland'', 1424-1513: 2999〕 and in 1517 they granted the use of of land to the nuns of St. Catherine of Siena.〔Stewart-Smith, J., ''The Grange of St. Giles'', Edinburgh, 1898: 21〕 On March 19, 1691 a John Cant sold St Giles Grange in its entirety to William Dick. It is interesting to note that at that time the previously feued to the nuns was now in the possession of Sir John Napier, the famous inventor of logarithms.〔Stewart-Smith, J., ''The Grange of St. Giles'', Edinburgh, 1898: 28-9〕 When Isabel Dick, the heiress, married Sir Andrew Lauder, 5th Baronet of Fountainhall, in 1731, The Grange passed to him.
