Macduff Lifeboat Station

Macduff Lifeboat Station is a Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) marine-rescue facility in Macduff, Aberdeenshire, Scotland, United Kingdom. The idea for a station at Macduff was first brought forward at a RNLI Committee Meeting held in Banff on 1 December 1859. The decision to proceed was taken the following March, and the station became operational in August 1860.[1]
