Summary
[edit]DescriptionNorthern Constabulary Pipe Band at Kessock Lifeboat Open Day on the Black Isle Ross & Cromarty Scotland (9583250385).jpg |
1,000 views on 15th October 2013 The Band playing outside the Lifeboat station with Craig Phadrig Hill, Inverness in the background (and Dunain Hill, with the radio masts on top, behind that). The village of Kessock (a.k.a. North Kessock) lies directly across the Beauly Firth from the City of Inverness. Until fairly recently, a ferry ran between the two, but since 1982 the imposing Kessock Bridge (carrying the A9 trunk road north from Inverness) has joined the two communities. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kessock_Bridge Kessock lies directly opposite the mouth of the River Ness, and Inverness Harbour and Marina, and the entrance to the Caledonian Canal is close by too. As a busy arm of the North Sea/Moray firth., the Beauly Firth is an important maritime route, both for commercial and leisure traffic. It took a long time to get a lifeboat based in the Inverness area but now that we do have the facility, locals are extremely proud - and supportive - of the Kessock lifeboat and its brave crew. The Lifeboat station is located at Craigton Point, directly under the north end of the Kessock Bridge. Several Band members have family or friends in the crew, hence we were delighted to be able to support and assist at the RNLI Kessock Station open day today (24th August 2013) by providing a mini-band to entertain the visitors. Kessock is one of Scotland’s youngest lifeboat stations, operating an inshore B class Atlantic 75 lifeboat – “The Moray Dolphin”. For over 10 years the lifeboat crews have launched the lifeboats, not only to save lives at sea but also to save lives inland during flooding. rnli.org/findmynearest/station/Pages/Kessock-Lifeboat-Sta... |
