Uri Geller's new micronation on a Scottish Island

[Still Waters]

When Robert Louis Stevenson wrote the swashbuckling literary classic Treasure Island, it is said, he drew inspiration from visits he paid as a child to the island of Fidra, one of a string of three rocky outcrops in the Firth of Forth off Scotland's North Berwick coast.

The young Stevenson was unaware of the myths, legends and mysteries reputedly harboured by another island, just over a mile (1.9km) to the east. Known as Lamb, it has attracted scant attention save from kayakers, occasional birdwatchers and wildlife volunteers. But it could yet turn out to be a real treasure island of its own.

At least, that's the possibility dangled by its colourful, charismatic and controversial owner, the world's most famous spoon bender and legendary "psychic" Uri Geller. Now, 13 years after he bought it, Geller, a master of the grand gesture, has decided to elevate Lamb's status from a private Scottish island to that of a country, with a flag, constitution and anthem.
