The Lamb (island)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Not to be confused with Lamba, Shetland
The Lamb, sometimes called Lamb Island or just Lamb, is a small (approx. 100m long x 50m wide), uninhabited island between the islands of Fidra and Craigleith in the Firth of Forth, off the south-east coast of Scotland. The Lamb can be reached by boat from North Berwick, although there are no landing facilities and little to attract visitors when compared to Fidra and the Bass Rock.
The Lamb is flanked by two "sheep dogs" - North and South Dog Islands - which are basically small skerries.
Like the other islands off North Berwick, the Lamb is a result of ancient volcanic activity, millions of years ago.
[edit] Ownership
The Lamb is part of the feudal Barony of Dirleton and is owned by the Barony of Fulwood Trust, together with North and South Dog Islands.
