Following a review of both trials and future requirements by the RNLI, it was decided to place an All-weather lifeboat at Lochinver.

[1] On 18 August 1967, the 46ft Watson-class lifeboat Dunleary II (ON 814) was initially placed on service at Lochinver.

Unlike the earlier Oakley lifeboats, the Solent had a steel hull, sub-divided by watertight bulk-heads.

[5] In 1992, the RNLI would receive an extraordinary bequest, a sum of £4 million from the estate of Mrs Eugenie Boucher, specifically to be used for the construction of new boathouses.

[2] At 19:59 on Sunday 7 December 2014, Stornoway Coastguard received a distress call from the fish carrier Norholm, drifting towards Cape Wrath in gale-force winds, with no power, and 4 people aboard.

Eventually, the vessel was brought 2 miles (3.2 km) off-shore, and at midnight, the rescue helicopter was stood down.
