Caves are cool.

Spent the day on the coast looking at raised beaches, Drumadoon sill and the Kings Cave.

According to legend Bruce was dejected, and on the verge of giving up trying to gain independence for Scotland from the English. While hiding out in a cave he observed a spider on one of the cave walls. The spider span a web only to have it collapse from the slippery stone.

Again and again the spider built its home, never giving up no matter how many times it failed, and eventually the web held. Bruce was said to have been inspired to try and try again against his foes and finally led the Scots to victory at Bannockburn.

Historically the caves may have been inhabited by ancient man, and there are fragile ancient carvings on the walls. These consist of early Christian religious images, and Pictish symbols. It is thought the caves were visited by early Christian travellers.

This isn't the actual Cave that is further along but the shots didn't come out well. There is also a carving of a Broad Sword and for the da vinci code brigade out there a small shield with a chalice in the middle. Pictures to come on FlickR soon.

Daz.
