Rathlin Island lies five miles off the coast of County Antrim, Ireland and thirteen miles from the Mull of Kintyre Scotland. It is "L" shaped "like a sock" the rugged north part, the leg, its open end pointing westwards towards County Donegal and away beyond to America, the leg is about five mile long with higher ground and the southern part the foot is also about 5 miles long.

Alex Morrison was born in 1915 and for many years people from near and far have contacted him about his knowledge of life on Rathlin and the people of the Island.

Alex wants to pass on to the next and succeeding generations all that he has learned in his life and what has been passed to him by
his ancestors.

Alex hopes to preserve reminders of the old customs and practices which would otherwise be lost because he is the last remaining person who has experienced these.

"My book should certainly help exiles envisage what life was really like for their ancestors on Rathlin Island. There is also the educational factor in this book for budding historians, heritage and cultural students.

Lastly, The preparation of this book is giving me an ongoing quality and enjoyment of life as the community and commitment to it, have always been my life" - Alex Morrison
