Stacked stones within The Kings Caves on the Isle of Arran, Scotland, UK.


Historic King's Cave is one of several locations in which Robert the Bruce is said to have had his famed encounter with a spider. From Blackwaterfoot you can walk along the beach and through the clever boulder-field path, part of Arran Coastal Way. Despite the legends, it's unlikely that Robert the Bruce sheltered in the King's Cave before the Battle of Bannockburn – or saw the famous spider. But King's Cave is still worth a visit for its superb location on a raised shingle beach.
