Uri Geller, spoon-bender, buys an island

CELEBRITY 'psychic' and all-round spoon-bending oddball Uri Geller has bought a Scottish island with links to Arthurian legend.

The TV presenter said he was "thrilled" at his £30,000 purchase of Lamb Island, a volcanic outcrop in the Firth of Forth near Edinburgh.

It is one of three islands whose layout mirrors that of the Egyptian pyramids at Giza, earning them the title "Great Pyramids of Scotland".

The islands are recorded in folklore and are said to have links to King Arthur, Robert the Bruce and to the ancient Kings of Ireland.

Lamb Island is also a designated Site of Special Scientific Interest with a colony of seabirds.
