Uri Geller praises kayakers who helped Scottish island he owns become predator-free

Uri Geller hailed a group of kayakers who have helped eradicate the only rat that lived on the Scottish island that he owns.

The self-proclaimed psychic bought Lamb, an uninhabitable island between Fidra and Craigleith in the Firth of Forth off the coast of North Berwick, in 2008 for £30,000 after claiming Pharaoh Tutankhamen's half-sister, Scota, may have buried treasure on the island.

Volunteers have been looking for the rodent, which can be a threat to breeding seabirds as they target their eggs and young, since November 2020 when conservationists decided action was needed.
