Grange House: A Forgotten Edinburgh Haunting

About this episode

This episode explores the history and haunting of Grange House in Edinburgh.

Hidden in what is now one of Edinburgh’s most genteel neighbourhoods once stood a house that few people today remember - and fewer still ever saw. Grange House was demolished in 1936, but long before that it had acquired a reputation that set it apart from other old Edinburgh estates. Built on the site of a medieval monastic grange, expanded over centuries, and eventually used as both a private home and a school for young women, the house sat quietly on the edge of the city while stories slowly gathered around it. In this episode, I look at the history of the Grange, the house itself, and the events that made it one of Edinburgh’s most overlooked hauntings. Also, I am working on a project about experiences in healthcare in Scotland. If you have a true, first-hand account of a haunting in a hospital or care home anywhere in Scotland, I’d really like to hear from you. You can get in touch at contact@eerieedinburgh.com
