2010 Gathering and Annual
General Meeting
The 47th annual clan gathering was held on
May 29th this year, with an AGM and lunch in Garlieston village
hall, followed by a visit to Sorbie Tower and a dinner and
ceilidh dance in the evening.
Forty four people attended the AGM, including
two clan members from Tasmania, two from America, and six from
Northern Ireland. After lunch about 50 people, led by the clan
piper, gathered at Sorbie Tower, which had been decked with
flags. The dinner and ceilidh dance in the evening were held at
the Crown Hotel in Newton Stewart.
Next morning there was a meeting of the
Sorbie Tower sub-committee at Kirkdale, to discuss the
possibility of replacing the roof and restoring the tower.
