The Scottish Legend of Robert The Bruce, King of Scotland, inspired our initiative. This man fought and died for the independence of Scotland during the 14th Century. The legend states whilst in the cave and at the depths of despair, Robert The Bruce happened to watch a spider attempting to build a web - the spider would spin then fall, get up and spin again and again relentlessly until it eventually made the web. From that Robert The Bruce motivated a nation to fight for its freedom against overwhelming odds. Not once, not twice, but several times in fact. Creating the saying “if at first you do not succeed try, try, and try again.”

From this inspiration we decided to encourage individuals to persevere our Scottish heritage through our own local web. Hence in 1996 our Scottish Web was created. Our goal was to give back to our local community and empower others, like Robert The Bruce empowered our fore fathers.

We are now harnessing the power of the web to provide opportunities for Scottish people to help others achieve greatness. Nothing succeeds like success!
