A small cottage and farm buildings in the valley of the Trowup Burn, west of the College Valley. It is likely that the farm takes its name from the stream valley, and I had a feeling that the earlier spelling of the place name may have been 'Trowhope Burn', as 'hope' is a common term in the locality for flat land in a valley. However, the first edition OS (1861) records 'Trough Burn' and the farm as 'Troughburn'. By 1897, it had become 'Trowup Burn' as it is today.
