The Sorbie Tower Charity

Scottish Charity Number SC045739

In 2015, Sorbie Tower was transferred to a Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation (SCIO) with the charitable purposes of:

1. The advancement of education
2. The advancement of the arts, heritage, culture or science
3. The provision of recreational facilities or the organisation of recreational activities

Sorbie Tower and its grounds are open all year round, and an open day is held on the Sunday after the annual clan gathering in May. Over the years there have been many school visits, historical tours, re-enactments, weddings and open days with ceilidh bands, dancing and piping. Information boards have been installed and camping facilities are being improved. The end goal is the full restoration of Sorbie Tower. This will enable it to be used for holiday lets, which will provide an income to maintain the existing facilities for the public benefit.
