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.
