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.
OwnershipEdit
The Lamb, along with North and South Dog Islands, was previously owned by the Brazilian Camilo Agasim-Pereira, Baron of Dirleton and Fulwood. On 11 February 2009, the island was bought by Uri Geller, who believes that it is a hiding place for ancient Egyptian treasure, for £30,000.
