Construction of the new building in Montrose has recently been completed and handed over to the RNLI.

The facility on Wharf Street provides the charity rescue service with a greater range of facilities, easier access to the harbour and will be home to a brand new £1.5 million lifeboat, the Shannon class - the first of its kind to be stationed in Scotland.

Facilities at the new station include a crew parking area, a souvenir outlet, changing area and a boathouse, removing the need for crew members to have to pass through the busy dock-side to the current station.
