Famed spoon-bender Uri Geller has bought a tiny island in the Firth of Forth.
The mystic and entertainer, who sprang to fame in the 1970s, believes Lamb Island has links to the pyramids at Giza and the Knights Templar.
Geller paid £30,000 for uninhabited island and claimed he felt a "strong instinctive urge" to buy it after reading it was for sale.
Lamb lies between Craigleith and Fidra and the three are said to mirror the layout of the pyramids at Giza, in Egypt.
Geller said: "It is one of the keystones to British mythology, and I am thrilled to be its owner. I am fascinated by the connection between the pyramids and these islands."
"So when I heard Lamb Island was for sale I felt a strong instinctive urge to buy it - and the more I delved into the history and the archaeological lore which surrounds it, the more certain I became that this is one of the most significant sites in Britain."
Geller paid less than half the £75,000 asking price
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.

We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers.
