There was a huge turnout on Sunday for the launch of Loughie McQuilkin's book "Rathlin Reminiscences. Its People - Its Stories - Its Places". In the book, Loughie tells of island life and its people, and how life has slowly changed through the years but the island spirit still remains. The book draws on Loughie's well known in-depth knowledge of the island, and his famously good memory.
Gusty McCurdy's new book tells the story of growing up on Rathlin during the 1930s. This was a time when farming and fishing provided a living for most islanders and the Gaelic language was still spoken, a different world!
