From Quiz You're So Spruce, Bruce!

Answer: The town of Brieux in Normandy

After years of shifting his allegiance between the Scottish earls and the English king Edward I, Robert the Bruce declared himself unambiguously for Scottish independence in 1306 and waged guerrilla war against English armies in Scotland for eight years until his decisive victory at Bannockburn. The story is told that - demoralised after an early defeat, and fled to the Irish island of Rathlin - he watched a spider in a cave refusing to admit defeat, and so committed himself to never giving up. Although Robert had Gaelic lineage on his mother's side, his father's family were from a Lowland Scottish and Norman heritage, which traced its roots to the town of Brieux in northern France. The Scottish Gaelic words for 'spider', by the way, are 'damhan-allaidh' and 'figheadair'.
