Lamb (island)


Lamb, sometimes called Lamb Island or The Lamb, is a small, uninhabited island between the islands of Fidra and Craigleith in the Firth of Forth, off the southeast coast of Scotland.
The Lamb is flanked by two "sheep dogs" – North and South Dog Islands – which are basically small skerries. Like the other islands off North Berwick, the Lamb is a result of ancient volcanic activity, millions of years ago.

Access

The Lamb can be reached by boat from North Berwick, although there are no landing facilities and little to attract visitors when compared to Fidra and the Bass Rock.

Ownership

The Lamb, along with North and South Dog Islands, was previously owned by Camilo Agasim-Pereira, Baron of Dirleton and Fulwood. On 11 February 2009, the island was bought by Uri Geller, who states that he believes that it is a hiding place for ancient Egyptian treasure, for an undisclosed amount.
