#ScotsinUS Spotlight: Restoration of Sorbie Tower

The American-Scottish Foundation is proud to work with Clan Hannay to highlight the Restoration of Sorbie Tower project. It is a designated project of the Foundation. Sorbie Tower is the ancient stronghold of Clan Hannay in Galloway, South West Scotland, from where those with the family names of Hannay, Hannah, Hanna, and Hanney originated.  

Our campaign is for its restoration which is a long term project. This will be phased according to the funds available, which so far have enabled several repairs to be carried out.

Homecoming: The Story of the Blavatnik Honresfield Library #ScotsinUS

Homecoming: The Story of the Blavatnik Honresfield Library #ScotsinUS

We are honored to be sharing with you all a brand new film revealing the contents and story of the Blavatnik Honresfield Library on this episode of #ScotsinUS. Prior to watching the full film, ASF President Camilla G Hellman hears from Amina Shah (Chief Executive of the National Library of Scotland) along with the members of the other two partners of the film, Giles Ingram (Abbotsford Home of Sir Walter Scott) and Sarah Beattie (National Trust for Scotland).    

The recent acquisition for the nation of the Blavatnik Honresfield Library holds an extraordinary collection of manuscripts by the Brontës, Jane Austen, Robert Burns and Sir Walter Scott. The Library was formed towards the end of the 19th century by William Law (1836-1901), a Rochdale mill owner. It has been largely inaccessible for the last 80 years, until the work of Friends of the National Libraries enabled the collection to be purchased for the nation in 2021. It is now known as The Blavatnik Honresfield Library, and around 1,700 printed books have in addition been donated by the Friends of the National Libraries to nearly 70 libraries across the UK.
