The tiny island 45 mins from Edinburgh that's owned by spoon-bending psychic Uri Geller

Heading just 45 minutes east of Edinburgh you'll be able to spot a tiny rocky island lying just off the coast coming into view.

Known as The Lamb, or Lamb Island, this small uninhabited outcrop – found just east of the more famous Fidra – has an intriguing story.

It's owned by TV personality Uri Geller, yes, that's right, the spoon-bending psychic purchased it almost 15 years and apparently told the BBC that one of the reasons he bought the isle was to "seek forgiveness" from Scotland after he famously tried to use his powers to influence Gary McAllister's missed penalty against England at Euro 96.
