Grange, an estate, with a modern mansion (now a farmhouse), in Monifieth parish, SE Forfarshire, 2½ miles NE of Broughty Ferry. An ancient mansion, on the same site as the present one, was the seat of Durham of Grange, an influential agent in the work of the Reformation, and a near kinsman of Erskine of Dun, who often visited him, and here is said to have narrowly escaped being taken prisoner by his enemies. In 1650 the great Marquis of Montrose, on his way from Assynt to be tried at Edinburgh, lay a night at Grange; and the laird's lady made a futile attempt to smuggle him out, disguised as a woman, past the drunken sentinels.—Ord. Sur., sh. 49, 1865.
