| 1306 | King Robert the Bruce I. was probably hiding in this cave after a lost battle against the English at Perth. |
The cliffs of Rathlin are home to tens of thousands of seabirds. Most of the caves in the cliffs can only be reached by boat. Bruce's Cave is located beneath the East Lighthouse, in the northeastern corner of the island.
There are four caves which are said to be the cave where King Robert the Bruce met the spider. This is the one favoured by the Bruce family, because in the 14th century this area was owned by his Irish mother.
