About this station
Celebrating 175 years as a lifeboat station, and now operating two lifeboats, Broughty Ferry was the first inshore lifeboat station in Scotland. The station has sadly witnessed tragedy with eight lifeboat crew losing their lives saving others at sea.Recent launches in scotland (BST)
