Northern Ireland's ONLY inhabited offshore island is an absolute gem - my journey to Rathlin Island

When I saw Rathlin Island off in the distance from Mull of Kintyre, I had no idea how cool this island would be and to think I'd never even HEARD of it before this trip. Join me on the long journey to get here and then uncover this gem of the Antrim coast with me. I'll bring you travel, lighthouses, views and a first taste of something VERY local...
Hi, I’m Steve, a travel reviewer from Scotland. Join me on my adventures as I discover my own country, often visiting places for the first time, so hopefully it's as much of an eye-opener for you as it is for me! Don't expect expert opinion, just a very honest journey of discovery. Sometimes featuring my intrepid sidekick Alicja, sometimes featuring adventures beyond the borders of Scotland. Enjoy!
Prices for this trip:
Loganair flight Dundee - Belfast £58 (inc set reservation)
Buses - 'Adult Rambler' £9.50 for a day ticket covering all bus/coach travel
Rathlin Island Ferry - £12 rtn
This is part one of three videos from this trip. Next week I'll review the flight to get here, and then the week after how I got back home to Scotland!

Hi Steve, I am a Translink bus driver so for your viewers information if you had gone on to Coleraine, which is the biggest town on the Causeway coast you can get a 402 bus every half hour to Ballycastle and it stops just also right by the harbour. This trip also has the advantage of hugging the coast and passes the Giants Causeway and the Rope bridge and the whole journey is framed with Scotland in the distance.

Ha no way! This could’ve cut some drama from my trip 🤣 also sounds like I need to come back and do some more bus journeys - thanks so much for this info!

@@steve-marsh There is, or was a ferry trip that gave you a bus trip up to the Giant's Causeway, passing the Rope Bridge (though no time to cross it, but did stop to let you look), this was a ferry/bus ticket. We did it years ago, so don't know if it still runs, the ferry ran from Stranraer at the time, left around 10AM and came back at 10PM. It stopped at the Causeway, long enough to catch the bus down to the Causeway from centre there. There is a centre there now, but you do not have to pay to go in (work it out when there, but is the other side or the centre, down and back). Don't leave it too late to get the bus back, as it gets rather full. There used to be two, sometimes three buses ran together, depending on the crowds. If you were lucky, everyone back to the bus on time, they sometimes gave a quick tour of Belfast. The bus drivers were very good and very helpful. People were very friendly over there as well. 😎

So on behalf of my fellow bus drivers, thank you Steve. I'm sure the driver did what he did because you were friendly and respectful to him. 😊 Oh and the buses on the Island are over 30 years old. I used to drive them in my first job as a bus driver, and they were second hand then. That was nearly over twenty years ago. 😂

The people of NI are friendly, gracious, and helpful. On a rainy, cold day in Belfast recently, decided to treat self to a “black cab” tour. Cabbie asked if I minded picking up a fare at a local church. This was the start of a fantastic journey. I got to meet people as they gathered after Mass, while cabbie collected his rider, a disabled young man who lived in care. On to care home where I was invited for tea and a break from dreadful weather. What a delightful day! I was treated like a daughter come home from America. Met residents and visitors, learned so much about NI, and got to bask in unbelievable hospitality. I’d stepped into a dream, but realized this is NI ! Thanks Steve, for your great travelogues!

We visited Rathlin in June. Unlike the great weather you experienced ours was cold wet and extremely windy. I took advantage of the bus to go to the bird sanctuary but two ladies who came on our ferry decided to walk. Everyone was sitting in the cafe enjoying hot drinks when the two brave ladies eventually emerged from the mist and rain. When they came into the cafe the whole place erupted with cheers and rounds of applause. I know you will appreciate how brave these ladies were.

@@steve-marsh You've left it too late for one of the biggest events in Arbroath, the monthly Bike night at the harbour in aid of the RNLI and Royal Marine charities. This year we have also been donating tins to the Fire Brigade food bank to help those affected by fires. Normally on third Thursday of the month from 6pm to 8pm so earler dark stops it till next year. Attendance generally from around 250 to over 400 bikes and trikes. There is a Toy run on the 9th October from The Meadowbank on the Montrose road. The run starts at 3.30 but bikes will be arriving before then. Last year here was around 240 bikes and trikes of all sizes on the run which took us round the back roads to Montrose then Brechin followed by Edzell , Forfar and finally back to the harbour at Arbroath. The route and approximate times should be published in the local paper so you can check out where it should be.

If I remember correctly, there is a ruined abbey or church in Ballycastle that people might find interesting. I would totally recommend, to anyone visiting Northern Ireland, if they get the chance, drive the coast road from Larne to Derry (Londonderry). There is so much to see, parking is usually free (unless they've started charging since I last drove that route), little fishing villages, a great little tea room at Dunluce Castle and the scenery is just stunning! For anyone who likes churches or is religious a trip to St Aiden's Well is worth a visit too - I think it's at or near Magilligans Point. Well that's me back to the videos - I've watched a fair few of yours today, makes for a lovely relaxing day. Thank you.

Memories, Steve! While working on other RSPB sites in Northern Ireland I was lucky enough to visit and work on Rathlin an a few occasions, both at the Seabird centre/West lighthouse and projects on the Eastern side of the island. More than the view, there are a couple of other Scottish connections there, at that time I was there the main ferry was the former Calmac ferry MV Canna. There is, or was, a ferry linking Ballycastle with Campeltown and Islay. It's also said that Robert the Bruce took sanctuary in a cave on Rathlin and here he witnessed the spider struggle to make a web. There are often seals in the harbour and there are some huge sea cliffs on the Northern side on the island. As you say, the people of Northern Ireland are fantastic, truly welcoming and warm.

Fantastic video Steve. You have such a good approach and delivery - so down to Earth and your videos are very informative. There used to be a ferry from Campbeltown to Ballycastle. I spent a summer in Saddell and remember standing at the pier in Campbeltown with this sense I was leaving Scotland. Belfast is one of my favourite cities. The wind had my name in it and now I am at the other end in West Cork. Anyway -Thank you.

Thanks so much, aye, VERY lucky with the weather (as the flight for this one was booked wayyy in advance, so I had no idea what it'd be like) :)
