Show transcript
One of the most famous legends told about Robert the Bruce is the story of him and a spider. While Robert was hiding from the English, it was said that he sheltered from the Scottish winter in a cave. In this cave, Robert watched a spider again and again try to spin its web; every time it fell it tried again. This made Robert realise that he had to keep trying against the English. Inspired by the spider, Robert returned to Scotland and eventually forced the English out of his homeland.
