    Tiny but you can see Making Tiles is attached to the Large Tile Prefab.

    It runs but puts all the sprites on the global coordinates at the Centre of camera. How to get on to Large Tile local coordinates?

    Why are you saying scale? I want the gameObjects placed within the local coordinates of the large tile.

    I said "scale" because you said "tiny". It doesn't matter however, because the scale is part of the transform (together with rotation and translation, right?). And as you set the parent, those children will get the coordinates "within the local coordinates" (to use your expression) of the parent (which is the large tile). Try it out. And pay attention to the flag 
    worldPositionStays
    , which in your case should be false.

    I said tiny because it is not a great scene shot.
