RNLI lifeboats in Scotland protect hundreds of communities with a 24-hour search and rescue service. Our volunteer crews rely on the safest, most reliable lifeboats and modern stations to launch from.

Scotlands unrivalled coasts and waters are valued by local communities and visitors alike, with millions travelling to enjoy them, and work on them each year. But the water remains an unpredictable environment that can catch people out. People will always need our help and we will always be there to answer that call.

Keeping a modern fleet of lifeboats maintained, fuelled and ever ready to go to the rescue from all 46 of the lifeboat stations in Scotland is expensive and we rely entirely on voluntary donations to ensure this service is maintained. Add to that crew training and kit, and the pounds start to add up. It costs an average of £155k to run a lifeboat station in Scotland but this year, with the implications of Covid-19, we havent been able to fundraise to help keep our lifeboats afloat.

We rely on donations from the public to continue saving lives at sea and on inland waters - your donation to this page will help support the running of the following lifeboat stations in Scotland:
