My husband William (‘Bill’) Rae was, as far as I know the first president but without some serious digging I don’t know the year. Because he worked for the Council, he was instrumental in getting the Grange listed as a Conservation area. During his retirement he also did a lot of research on the Grange Cemetery.

The first President of the Grange Association was Dr Derek Lyddon after his retiral as Chair of the Grange Association in 1991 and as Chief Planner Officer of the Scottish Office.
In 1978 Dr Willam Hale, then Director of the Centre for Human Ecology of the University of Edinburgh and Chair of the East Grange Association asked me to assist the Association in making a successful case to the Council for Conservation Area Designation. I was working at the time towards a post – grad in Architectural Conservation directed by Dr Colin McWilliams from Heriot-Watt University. Conscious that Conservation cannot be achieved by any one individual without the involvenment of the community, I accepted the Commission to produce a Report for the Council, but asked The East Grange Association to form an ‘ad-hoc group’ of volunteers to help me in the project. The first meeting of the ‘Conservation Group’ met at my house and Bill Rae stepped forward to Chair the volunteers to assist in the process.
The ‘Conservation Group’ included as members:
Robert Bartholomew, Sandra Carter, Anthony Dixon, Newman Fersguson, Edith Fortescue, Alan Jamison, George Kinnear, Alexander Law, Margareth Phillips, Hillary Sawers, Isabel Simpson and Cecilia Stephens. (see first page of ‘The Grange: A Case for Conservation’, published in 1982 and subsequently approved by the Council)
