Loch Ness Lifeboat Station is located on the A82 at Urquhart Bay, just east of the town of Drumnadrochit, just north of the mid-point of Loch Ness, 13.5 miles (21.7 km) south-east of Inverness, in the Highland region of Scotland.
A rescue boat was first stationed here by H.M. Coastguard in the 1980s. A lifeboat station was established here by the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) in 2008.[1][2]
The station currently operates a B-class (Atlantic 85) Inshore lifeboat, Sheila & Dennis Tongue IV (B-902), on station since 2018.[2]
