Storm damage

Back inn 1828, Newburgh became the first port in Scotland to have a Lifeboat Station, provided by the Shipwreck Institution. The RNLI, as the Institution was to become, based a lifeboat in Newburgh until 1961, when it was moved North, to Peterhead.

The recent gales and high tides have severely damaged the boathouse and the concrete ramp down which the boat was launched.
