Penshiel Grange is a medieval monastic grange or farm complex located in East Lothian, Scotland. The site dates from the medieval period and functioned as an agricultural and economic dependency, likely associated with one of the major religious houses in the region. The grange would have served to manage lands and produce surplus wealth for its parent monastery through the exploitation of arable and pastoral resources. Such granges formed a crucial part of the monastic economy in medieval Scotland, representing the practical extension of ecclesiastical authority into the countryside.
