| Nith Inshore Rescue began in the winter of 1981/82. A man was trapped alone on a sandbank in the River Nith just to the south of Glencaple. The tide was rising fast around him and local people could only watch in horror as a tragedy unfolded before their eyes. They looked on helplessly as the man shouted for help, but inevitably the rising water overcame him and the Nith claimed yet another life.
That year, local people took matters into their own hands and decided the Glencaple area needed its own rescue boat, to be based in the village. And so Nith Inshore Rescue was born. A massive fundraising effort swung into action, with private individuals and local businesses donating generously.. |

ProjectScotland is a charity that helps young people get on in life through volunteering.
They are a charity that helps young Scots aged 16 to 30 to get on in life by volunteering full-time with a Scottish charity.
They partner with hundreds of Scottish charities to create quality volunteering placements in Scotland. This year we will place 900 volunteers.
Here’s why it matters.
They offer 16 to 30 year-olds the chance to make a positive contribution to their community and their country through volunteering. Why volunteer? Young people and young adults get experience of work and a chance to develop themselves. Charities throughout the country get additional skills, talents and energy. Local communities are strengthened as new links and connections across generations are made. Scotland is a better place. |
