‘I’ve become mum to 30 crew volunteers’

Episode 165 – Great Scot: Anne Scott

When Anne Scott retired from her full-time job at the RNLI, the Buckie lifeboat crew had other ideas. Now, RNLI stalwart Anne volunteers at the station - and sees the crew as family.

One of Anne’s earliest memories is of being 4 or 5 and trying to stay awake, not for Santa Claus, but for her dad - the mechanic at Cromarty Lifeboat - to return home from a shout. Her uncle John was RNLI crew too, and her mother a passionate fundraiser.

Fittingly, Anne later became an RNLI Fundraising Manager and supported events in her patch of Scotland. She talks about her latest role as Lifeboat Operations Manager at Buckie Lifeboat Station, what being involved with the crew means to her, and about another indelible memory - lifeboat crew members putting on their best Beyoncé in fishnets and stilettos.
