Old Photographs Sorbie Scotland
Old photograph of cottages and people in Sorbie located between Wigtown and Whithorn in Wigtownshire, Scotland. Sorbie parish was a seventeenth century amalgamation of Sorbie, Kirkmadrine and Cruggleton. Sorbie station on the Wigtownshire Railway branch of the Portpatrick and Wigtownshire Joint Railway which closed in the 1964 formerly served Sorbie village. For many years Sorbie had a creamery located beside the railway station, some of whose products were once exported via the port at nearby Garlieston. Sorbie Parish Church, in the centre of the village, dates from around 1755. Farming forms the principal local industry in the area.
