Does anyone know if these Troughtons are in anyway related to the
acting family of the same name?

I don't know about the acting family (Sam, David and Patrick), but the
10th Duke of Atholl's half-sister is (I think) Sarah Troughton. Her
husband is the architect Jamie Troughton.

Coming late to this conversation, but just to confirm that the 10th Duke of Atholl's 
mother was Hon Angela Pearson, so Sarah Troughton nee Campbell-Preston was
his half-sister and Claire Troughton now Spencer-Churchill was his half-niece (if
anyone uses that term outside genealogy!).

wishing everyone a very Happy New Year in advance, since she might not
post around that time.

Found a photo of the married couple - Dominic and Claire Spencer-Churchill - in the Atholl Estates newsletters.  The bride's
mother Sarah Troughton, nee Campbell-Preston, apparently owns Atholl Estates via the estate of her half-uncle or by sale to
Annie, Lady Cowdray, mother of the Hon. Angela Pearson.
