Most mounds in Orkney are associated with "mound-dweller[s]" (''hogboon''; {{langx|non|haugbúinn}}; {{langx|no|haugbonde}}) living inside them,{{Refn|{{harvp|Marwick, E.|2000}} <nowiki>[</nowiki>[[#CITEREFMarwick, E.1975|1975]]<nowiki>]</nowiki>, {{URL|1=https://books.google.com/books?id=7ZwSAQAAIAAJ&q=hogboon |2=pp. 39–40}}; {{harvp|Muir|2003|pp=203–204}} apud {{harvp|Lee|2015|pp=139–140}}.}} and though local lore does always specify, the dweller is commonly the trow.<ref>{{harvp|Muir|1998}} and {{harvp|Marwick, E.|2000}} <nowiki>[</nowiki>[[#CITEREFMarwick, E.1975|1975]]<nowiki>]</nowiki>, "Ch. 2: Folk of Hill and Mound", {{URL|1=https://books.google.com/books?id=7ZwSAQAAIAAJ&q=hogboon |2=pp. 30–}} apud {{harvp|Lee|2015|pp=139–140}}.</ref>

A reputedly trow-haunted mound may not in fact be a burial mound. The Long Howe in [[Tankerness]], a [[moraine|glacial mound]], was believed to contain trows, and thus avoided after dark.<ref>{{harvp|Muir|2003|p=203}} apud {{harvp|Lee|2015|p=139}}.</ref> A group of mounds around Trowie Glen in [[Hoy, Orkney|Hoy]] are also geological formations, but feared for its trows throughout the valley,<ref>{{harvp|Muir|1998}} and Lee, D. (2010), ''Roeberry Barrow, Cantick, South Walls, Orkney, with Additional Survey in Hoy. Manuscript, Data Structure Report'' apud {{harvp|Lee|2015|pp=139–140}}</ref> and also unapproached after dark.<ref name="johnston1896"/>

The [[stone circle]] on [[Fetlar]] has been dubbed the [[Hjaltadans|Haltadans]] (meaning ‘Limping Dance’) since according to legend, they represent a group of petrified music-loving trows who were so engrossed by dancing to the trowie fiddler's tunes that they failed to hide before dawn's break.<ref name="larrington"/>

On the mainland in [[Canisbay]], Caithness is a "Mire of Trowskerry" associated with trows.<ref name="mowat"/>
