Fraserburgh RNLI Lifeboat Station

LiLifeboats have been launching from Fraserburgh Harbour for over 200 years. The first life boat station was opened in 1858 and it was the first in Scotland. The current boat house and shore facility were built in 2007 and it is the fourth station to be built in Fraserburgh.

It incorporates parts of the first RNLU lifeboat station built in 1858; there is a workshop, ?crew room for training and changing, a shop and a garage. The architect has also designed a feature panel for the new lifeboat station, which incorporates the date stone and part of a timber truss from the previous Fraserburgh station.

Come and visit this fascinating 'Discover' Station- take a look at how a modern lifeboat station operates. There will be video presentations on the history of the Fraserburgh life boat station and life boat volunteers will be on hand to show you around the building and answer your questions. Take a look at the historic artefacts displayed in the building and take a tour of the lifeboat itself (weather and duties permitting).

Take a moment to look at the Monument to the 14 men who lost their lives whilst serving on the Fraserburgh lifeboat just outside the Lifeboat Station.
