Born in 1946 and brought up in Cupar, Fife, I was educated at the local school - 
Banff & Buchan MSP Stewart Stevenson has backed his SNP colleague, Richard Lochhead's Parliamentary Motion praising the efforts of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI).
Mr Stevenson, who supported a recent RNLI fundraiser in Peterhead with a donation of a bottle of Scottish Parliament whisky for raffling, said:
"I would like to pay tribute to the RNLI which, last year, rescued more than 1,000 people for the first time in its 184-year history.
"What we must all remember is that the RNLI is a charity and therefore is heavily reliable on donations of both time and money in order to carry out its invaluable service RNLI staff and crew who protect seafarers and those using Scotland's seas are to be commended for their courage, commitment and dedication and we owe them all a debt of gratitude."
