history
Around 1800, James Peterkin of Grange and Greeshop bought the property from the Dunbar family . Peterkin entrusted the Scottish architect William Stark with the design of the manor house, which was completed in 1809. His daughter Mary Ann , who married Peter Grant of Invererne (see Invererne House ) in 1836 , inherited Grange Hall. In the course of history, Grange Hall was redesigned and expanded three times, in 1833, 1881 and 1898. John Rhind was commissioned with the work in 1881 . The rooms on the ground floor are still largely in their original condition.
description
Grange Hall is isolated around 1.5 kilometers southwest of Kinloss and three kilometers northeast of Forres near the mouth of the Findhorn in the Moray Firth . The main facade of the two-storey mansion, which is exposed to the south-east, is five axes wide. It is simply designed in a classical style. While the main facade is faced with a layered brickwork of stone blocks, the exposed brickwork of the other facades shows the roughly hewn quarry stone.
The central axis is designed with paired colossal pilasters that carry a triangular gable with a blind ocular in the tympanum . At the foot a staircase leads to the Doric portico in antis . The outer axes close with striking dormer windows with platform roofs and arched windows. A balcony with pilastrized triple windows and a garden staircase continues on the west facade, which is three axes wide . The rear attachment is four axes wide. The two-storey component closes with a flat roof with a balustrade . A three-story stair tower rises up at its end.
