The Grange Club is a cricket and sports club in the Stockbridge district of Edinburgh, Scotland. The cricket ground, commonly known as The Grange, is the regular home of the Scotland national cricket team, and is situated adjacent to the Edinburgh Academy sports ground, which is in Raeburn Place.
The Grange Club was founded in 1832, in The Grange district of Edinburgh. In 1872 it moved to its current location at Raeburn Place in the Stockbridge district and has hosted out of its pavilion since 1893. The pavilion cost £1,400 and was officially opened on 29 June 1893 by Lord Moncrieff. The pavilion was restored in 1998 at a cost of £450,000.[1]
After the Scottish Cricket Union disbanded in 1883 The Grange Club assumed responsibility as the governing body of cricket in Scotland for a time and still holds considerable national influence.
The decorative scheme to the interior of the Pavilion is designed to complement the exterior. The Long Room, is modelled on the Marylebone Cricket Club's 'Long Room' at Lord's Cricket Ground, London.
The Club was also associated with The Dyvours Club, Edinburgh's oldest lawn tennis club, who were founded in 1883, and played on the grounds.
The Grange has hosted numerous high profile international matches over the years featuring teams such as Australia, Pakistan, England and New Zealand. Some of the world's finest cricketers have played at The Grange, from W. G. Grace in 1895 and Donald Bradman in 1948 to Brian Lara in 1995, Shane Warne and Andrew Flintoff. The ground has hosted Scotland's home matches in ECB domestic cricket competitions.
The Grange hosted two ODIs during the 1999 Cricket World Cup.
