Dumfriesshire, Clydesdale and Tweeddale MP David Mundell joined members of the Glencaple-based Nith Inshore Rescue service at their regular training session on a wet and windy Wednesday evening.
He was discussing the benefits of the long-established unit’s membership of the recently formed National Independent Lifeboat Association.
The Westminster representative has been supportive of the volunteer team joining the UK-wide network and the opportunities it provides for their vital life-saving work.
