Like the other Islands of the Forth off North Berwick, the Lamb is a result of volcanic activity millions of years ago.

The Lamb can be reached by canoes and small boats from North Berwick, although there are no landing facilities and little to attract visitors when compared to Fidra island or the Bass Rock.

Following a two-year operation involving 35 visits with canoes and infra-red cameras, a single invasive rat was removed from the island in 2022.

The Lamb, along with North and South Dog Islands, was previously owned by Camilo Agasim-Pereira, Baron of Dirleton and Fulwood.

[7] Geller also became chairman of the North Berwick Amateurs FC, designated as Lamb's national football team.
