Sorbie Tower, Tower house in Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland.
The L-shaped stone structure rises three stories high with a corner turret and features a massive kitchen fireplace measuring 17 feet wide.
Built between 1550 and 1575, the tower served as the ancestral seat of Clan Hannay until its sale to the Earl of Galloway in 1677.
The tower incorporates traditional Scottish architectural elements, including a vaulted kitchen on the ground floor and the great hall on the first level.
Located near the B7052 road between Garlieston and Sorbie village, the exterior of the tower remains accessible for viewing throughout the year.
The stair turret in the L-shaped angle contains a distinctive bottom corbel carved to represent a human head.
