Rathlin is the only inhabited offshore island of Northern Ireland, with a growing population of around 135 people, and is the most northerly inhabited island off the coast of Ireland. The reverse L-shaped Rathlin island is 4 miles (6 km) from east to west, and 2.5 miles (4 km) from north to south.
Rathlin is separated from the mainland by the Sea of Moyle. The closest point to the mainland is Fair Head which is a distance of just over 2 miles. It is also the closest point to Scotland, being 11 miles from the Mull of Kintyre. The island is serviced by a regular ferry to Ballycastle which is also shown on the chart.
