At 07:11 today, Tuesday 12th May, Kessock lifeboat was requested to launch by HM Coastguard.

The boat has since returned to station and has been made ready for service.

We thank the public for their support and remind everyone if they see anyone in danger near water to please call the coastguard on 999

From all of us at Kessock Lifeboat Station, we extend our heartfelt condolences to our fellow search and rescue colleagues at Marine Rescue NSW, following the tragic incident in Ballina, Australia.

The loss of their two volunteers is felt on a global scale and is a sobering reminder of the immense danger search and rescue volunteers face every day at sea. We recognise the profound impact tragedies like this have on families, crews and communities. Our thoughts are with them all.

We honour the courage, commitment and selflessness of those involved, and of everyone who dedicates their lives to saving lives at sea.

They will not be forgotten. Fair winds and following seas
