Grange of Elcho is a nunnery site located in Perthshire, Scotland, approximately 180 metres east-north-east of Tay View. The site represents a medieval religious establishment, likely associated with a larger monastic centre through its designation as a grange, a term denoting a dependent agricultural property of a monastery or nunnery. The physical remains and archaeological evidence indicate medieval occupation, though specific details of the founding date and architectural features require consultation of specialist archaeological records held by Historic Environment Scotland. The site's location in the fertile Tay valley reflects the typical pattern of medieval religious communities selecting agriculturally productive land for their estates.
