Written by Sam Hanna Bell and Harry Govan.
Across the narrow waters Rathlin can be seen from both Scotland and Ireland. It is a land of rough roads and storm-bound jetties; of paraffin lamps in solitary cottages and sea birds in their thousands. On this Island long ago Robert the Bruce watched the spider. Today only 150 people live here-but they have managed to turn isolation and hardship to their uses.
