The Grange (originally St Giles' Grange) is an affluent suburb[1] of Edinburgh, just south of the city centre, with Morningside and Greenhill to the west, Newington to the east, The Meadows park and Marchmont to the north, and Blackford Hill to the south. It is a conservation area characterised by large early Victorian stone-built villas and mansions, often with very large gardens. The Grange was built mainly between 1830 and 1890, and the area represented the idealisation of country living within an urban setting.[2]
The suburb includes streets which are renowned for their pricey properties, and it is home to some of Scotland's richest people,[1][3] top lawyers and businessmen.[3] Whitehouse Terrace, in the Grange area of the Capital, was named as the priciest postcode in Zoopla's 'Rich List for 2021'.[1]
