Description: Rathlin Island is both an island and a civil parish. It is eleven miles from the coast of Scotland, and three miles off the coast of County Antrim. Its ownership has been disputed through the centuries, sometimes conquered by Scots, sometimes by the Irish. James I ruled that the island belonged to Ireland because it had no snakes. It has remained a part of County Antrim since.
