I always wanted to own an island and in 2009 I got the chance. Now you can be part of it too. 

Lamb, in the Scottish Firth of Forth, is a very special place – possibly the most mystical island in the world. Something drew me to it and my instincts were confirmed by the incredible connections of the island to the ancient world, the Bible, and many extraordinary legends. It also harbours mysterious powers, sitting on leylines of energy linking it directly with historical sites of great intrigue and significance. I felt those leylines myself when I camped overnight on the island (planting there a crystal sphere that belonged to Einstein!). One such line runs right through Lamb from the Isle of May – said to be the burial place of none other than King Arthur – at one end, and the Hill of Tara – coronation site of Irish kings and gateway to the fabled Otherworld – at the other. Indeed Scotland’s famed coronation stone – the Stone of Scone, also known as the Stone of Destiny – is said to have been brought to Tara from Jerusalem via Egypt by the Biblical prophet Jeremiah and the daughter of the last king of Judah.

According to the 15th Century Scottish chronicle the Scotichronicon, Scotland was founded by Princess Scota, the exiled daughter of the pharaoh who oppressed the Israelites in the Bible (Sigmund Freud – my relative – wrote a controversial book about Moses and the pharaoh!). Scota’s boat is even said to have anchored off Lamb, where folklore says she buried treasure!  Moreover the link to ancient Egypt does not end there – incredibly an historical investigator discovered that Lamb and two islands on either side precisely mirror the layout of the pyramids at Giza, built by the pharaohs 4,500 years ago!

It is a well-known theory that the pyramids’ inexplicably perfect alignment was the result of help from extraterrestrials, and North Berwick, where Lamb lies, has long been a hotspot for UFO sightings!  Besides its tantalising mysteries, Lamb is also a place of outstanding natural beauty and special scientific interest. As its owner I am technically landlord to thousands of magnificent puffins, guillemots, cormorants and other varieties of seabirds. They are Lamb’s only permanent residents! For the first time though I am opening my island to all of mankind and inviting anyone to become a citizen! It is a gesture of peace, harmony and brotherhood where everyone can become a member of this micronation regardless of beliefs, religion, politics or any differences which separate people. I want it to become the micronation with the biggest citizenship in the world! The more people who send positive thoughts to the island, the more Lamb will thrive and its positive energy grow.

Every land needs its own identity – a constitution, a flag and an anthem – and Lamb is no exception. The anthem - My Island - is a beautiful, ethereal, Scottish piece of music originally composed by James Russell, the great-grandfather of my dear friend and Scottish mentalist Drew McAdam, exactly 100 years before I bought Lamb (watch the music video here). It was never recorded in James' lifetime and I hope he would be proud of the amazing way it has been adopted. The flag of Lamb is a design I created in the 1970s, with some help from my friend and mentor Salvador Dali. It is called Life and represents the mysteries of the universe. Lamb also has a special constitution, based on the universal principles of peace and harmony.
