Lamb Island is a micronation founded by Uri Geller,[1] an Israeli-British illusionist and television personality, on the small uninhabited Scottish island of Lamb. Geller bought the island in 2009 for £30,000 and planned to establish a micronation there since mid 2022.
Citizenship is purely symbolic and offered for a fee of 1$, proceeds of which go to Save A Child's Heart charity. The Island is permanently inhabited by puffins, guillemots, cormorants and other seabirds.
