Thurso Lifeboat Station
Thurso is the most northerly RNLI lifeboat station on mainland Scotland where the station’s Severn class all-weather lifeboat launches into the often turbulent seas of the Pentland Firth. This station covers the south side of the Pentland Firth and the north coast of Scotland to Cape Wrath. The station is rather exposed and rehousing of the boat is often difficult. Crews have received 17 awards for gallantry.
