Historically Ramshope was an extra parochial area. In 1851 it had a population of 13.[1]

There are very few houses in Ramshope today, including a farm and Ramshope Lodge, both located on the A68 road. The name can also be found in Ramshope Burn, a tributary of the Catcleugh Reservoir and the River Rede.[2]
