Group of cottages in Perth or Penicuik? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

thorpe

'group of cottages' is the definition.
(a thorpe is a hamlet or village)

'in perth or penicuik?' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'THORPE' is hidden in the letters of 'perth or penicuik'.

(Other definitions for thorpe that I've seen before include "Village" , "Aussie Pools winner" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
