Nairn Lifeboat Station was located next to the River Nairn wharf in Nairn, a town and former royal burgh on the southern shore of the Moray Firth, approximately 15 miles (24 km) north-east of Inverness, in the administrative region of Highland, historically Nairnshire, on the east coast of Scotland.[1]
A lifeboat was first placed at Nairn in 1878, by the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI).[2]
After 33 years of operation, Nairn Lifeboat Station was closed in 1911, with service transferring to a new lifeboat station at Cromarty.[3]
