Nether Abbey Hotel's Stirling Stewart continues to support North Berwick RNLI Volunteer Lifeboat with a fundraising raffle raising an impressive £1700.

As part of the Nether Abbey Hotel Annual Beer and Gin Festival, owner Stirling Stewart organised a fundraising raffle for North Berwick RNLI (Royal National Lifeboat Institution).

RNLI Local Press officer and Helm Rhona Meikle said “Stirling uses produce from the local fisherman, has a boat of his own and is a resident of North Berwick so he really appreciates what the volunteers do for North Berwick Lifeboat.
