    I had come across the story of Robert and the spider while researching my ancestry but did not know the story of Arran very well until you directed me to your way too short documentary. 🙂 I so enjoyed watching it!! And thank you for leading me there!

    If you're looking for somewhere with a connection to Robert the Bruce, you should look at the Paisley Abbey. Marjory Bruce, who was Robert the Bruce's daughter, is said to have died in childbirth in the infirmary of the monastery in Paisley. Her son went on to become Robert I, King of Scots. He was the first king of the Stewart line. The only part of the monastery that can still be seen above ground, is the Paisley Abbey. There is a feature within the Abbey, which is referred to as Princess Marjory's Tomb. It has been opened and totally empty. It was a creation of a previous minister. It's more of a memorial than a tomb, but Marjory is said to have been buried with the grounds of the Paisley monastery, along with some of the Stewart kings.

    I've read that an Arran branch of the Fullerton were one of those that looked after Robert the Bruce in Brodick Bay and a Fergus Fullerton was later awarded with lands by him in Kilmichael, Arran in 1307. I've also read a Fullerton was among the Knights that accompanied The Black Douglas on a journey to take Robert's heart to the Holy Land, unfortunately they both met their end in Spain fighting Moors…oh and I recommend people watch "The Outlaw King" on Netflix especially if you want to know who the Black Douglas is 🙂

    Nicely done show. I love Marjorie (the daughter). Her daughter, Joanna, married my ancestor, John Lyon. So, that makes us distant cousins!
