Grange House was built in the 16th century. It became the family home of the Dick Lauder family, and was significantly extended by W. H. Playfair in 1827. The house fell into disuse in the early 20th century, and was demolished between 1936-1938.

The Grange is an area in the south of Edinburgh. It lies to the south of Grange Road and to the west of Ratcliffe Terrace. The area served, from the mid 12th century, as agricultural land associated with St Giles Kirk. It was bought in 1631 by William Dick. The area was substantially developed in the mid to late 19th century. Many of the streets built at this time carry names associated with the Dick Lauder family.
