West Links - North Berwick
[West Links]
View from the 10th tee with the islands, Lamb, Craigleith and Bass Rock. Lamb is named after the common Norse word
for 'small island' and is just 100m long and 50m wide. Israeli Uri Geller bought the Lamb Island in 2009 and declared it has a mystical heritage. H has visited several times searching for artefacts relating to the legend of the exiled Egyptian princess Scota whose boat is said to have anchored at Lamb Island. He bought the island after learning that its mysterious heritage dated back to the pharaohs. The Lamb's geography exactly mirrors the layout of the Great Pyramids at Giza. In April 2022 a group of volunteers announced that Uri Geller's island was now rat free.
