Location

The Grange, which is set amidst well-kept lawns and a wealth of mature trees and shrubs, enjoys one of Lanark's finest locations. Picturesque Castlebank Park is locaterd at the foot of Friars Lane and is linked by the Clyde Walkway to the World Heritage Site of New Lanark and the Falls of Clyde.

The Grange is also only a short walk away from Lanark town centre with its numerous shops and amenities. Lanark has served as an important market town since medieval times and King David the First made it a Royal Burgh in 1140. It was originally the county town of Lanarkshire and offers a full range of amenities including supermarkets, restaurants, banks and professional services. There are three primary schools in the town and Lanark Grammar, founded in 1183, is one of the oldest schools in Scotland. Private education is available at Hamilton College or the many Edinburgh and Glasgow schools.

As a thriving, welcoming small community, Lanark boasts clubs and societies catering for every sporting and cultural interest, including an 18-hole championship golf course, which this year plays host to the British Girls Home International matches, and the former racecourse that now provides a wide range of outdoor sports facilities including an equestrian centre. Lanark is exceptionally popular with commuters to both Glasgow and Edinburgh and offers both a railway station with direct services to Glasgow and good access to the main motorway network.
