    Hiking

    Legend has it that Robert the Bruce sheltered in the King’s Cave before the Battle of Bannockburn. As he sat, the King saw a spider trying to build a web and keep falling. Eventually, however, the spider succeeded in the task. Afterwards, Bruce decided to retry his fight and told his men: "If at first you don't succeed, try, try and try again". Whether you believe the legend or not, the King's Cave and the series of other caves nearby are great to explore.

    Easy to find on the beach and has a gate at its opening. It is a good idea to bring a torch, and explore inside and see all the carved writing.
    There is a good car park and the path is easy going though the most direct route down has a steeper section.
