Sorbie (Scottish Gaelic: Soirbidh) is a small village in Wigtownshire, Machars, within the administration area of Dumfries and Galloway Council, Scotland.

[3] Sorbie Parish Church, in the centre of the village, dates from around 1755 and is a large T-plan structure, now de-roofed.

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.

Timothy Pont's 17th century map shows Kirck of Cruggeltown [4][5] Ainslie's 1782 map shows Sorby Parish and the church by the Village of Sorbie [6] In 1846 the parish was an area about six miles in length, and between three and a half to nearly six miles in breadth, composed of 9000 acres of which 7700 are arable with a moderate proportion of meadow and pasture, 400 woodland and plantations, and the remainder moor.

The loch was about 3 miles in circumference and from six to twenty feet deep which, when drained, was found to contain two small islands or lake dwellings of the pre-historic inhabitants.

On the islands, and in their neighbourhood were also discovered several vessels of bronze, beads of glass, vitreous paste and amber, querns, whetstones, etc.
