Warren Maguire, a lecturer at the University of Edinburgh has contacted the RDCA, and is looking for information about accents on Rathlin.

He is currently running an online survey of accents of English in Britain and Ireland, and is trying to fill some important gaps in his coverage. One area which is very under-represented so far is Rathlin and north Antrim. He goes on to say: "So I wonder if you would be willing to advertise the survey to as many natives from Rathlin and north Antrim (or anywhere else of interest) as you can so that rural parts of Britain and Ireland are represented too. Thanks for any help you can offer"

The link to the survey is here, and you can see some preliminary results and read a bit more about the project here.
