Dawnbreaker made it to Northern Ireland today, to Rathlin Island.  A picturesque island off Northern Ireland's Causeway Coastal Route is a joy for birdwatchers, history buffs and anyone looking for an insight into island life

This remote island is the perfect setting for a great story, and Rathlin has more than its fair share. It was here that King Robert of Scotland was exiled in the 14th century, and where he re-found his courage; while sitting in a cave pondering his next move, he witnessed a spider's determination to repair its broken web, and was inspired to return and reclaim his throne.
