Rathlin Island sits just off the north coast of Co. Antrim, offshore from the town of Ballycastle, and is home to three different lighthouses and colonies of puffins and seals.
"Robert I (more commonly known as Robert the Bruce) was a 13th-century Scottish king who reigned from 1306 until his death in 1329. He was one of the most famous warriors of the time, and even today, his name is still significant in Scottish history – not least because it was he who led Scotland to march against England in the First War of Scottish Independence.
In 1306, Robert had just suffered a devastating defeat and had been forced to go into exile. His brother was dead, his wife captured, and he was stuck hiding in the sanctuary of a cave on Rathlin Island.
Six times Robert counted a spider trying to swing to a nearby rock to affix a line and create a web. Six times, the spider failed in its task. Yet still, it did not give up. Robert the Bruce had attempted to achieve Scottish independence six times. Like the spider, he had failed all six times. Realising this curious similarity, Robert drew inspiration and motivation from the determined actions of the humble spider. The rest, as they say, is history."
