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; it is also known as the Citylets Grange during Scotland matches, for sponsorship reasons.

Cricket

The Grange has hosted numerous high profile international matches over the years including Scotland v West Indies in 1995 and, more recently, Scotland's televised World Cup fixtures against New Zealand and Bangladesh. 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. For the last few years, the Grange Club has hosted Scotland's home matches in the Totesport National League. The Grange hosted Scotland's first official One Day International outside of World Cups on 27th June 2006. A capacity crowd saw Scotland lose by 5 wickets to Pakistan.
