RNLI 200: Photographs from Anstruther lifeboat station over the years

With the RNLI marking its 200th anniversary of saving lives at sea this month, we’ve taken a look back in our archives at some of the photographs from the Anstruther lifeboat station over the years.

Run completely by volunteers and funded by the public’s generous donations, the charity is an important part of the East Neuk community.

Many individuals, groups and businesses have played their part in helping to raise money for the lifeboat, and the RNLI’s volunteers have been, and continue to be, busy driving the fundraising.

The annual lifeboat gala was always a popular event for the whole community, and the team have been a part of other galas, fetes and events around the local area.

Here are just a few photographs from our archives – do you recognise anyone in them?
