The Grange Club is a leading sports club located in the Stockbridge district of Edinburgh, Scotland, at 7 Portgower Place, EH4 1HQ. It was founded in 1832 and moved to its current location at Raeburn Place in 1872, where its pavilion has been in use since 1893. The pavilion, which cost £1,400 to build, was officially opened on June 29, 1893, by Lord Moncrieff and was later restored in 1998 at a cost of £450,000. The club holds significant national influence in cricket, having temporarily taken responsibility as the governing body for cricket in Scotland after the Scottish Cricket Union disbanded in 1883. The interior of the Pavilion features a decorative scheme, with The Long Room modeled after the Marylebone Cricket Club's 'Long Room' at Lord's Cricket Ground in London.
