Schools in Inverclyde will welcome 17 sets of twins next Friday. The only other time more twins started school in the region was in 2015, when 19 sets of twins started primary school.

Graeme Brooks, depute provost of Inverclyde Council, said:"It has become an annual tradition in Inverclyde, or Twinverclyde as we've become known, to welcome our twins into primary one.

"Excitement is definitely building for the start of the new term next week and what better way to look forward to that than seeing the pupils here looking resplendent in their uniforms."It's also a good bit of fun for parents too - and a handy dress rehearsal ahead of the real thing next Friday. "We're lucky to have so many incredible schools here in Inverclyde with every one renewed or extensively refurbished, including St Patrick's which was rebuilt and opened in 2016, thanks to the council's unprecedented quarter billion investment in our schools estate.

"But schools are nothing without the children, staff and families who make them and it's great to see some of the next generation coming through here today and I wish them all the very best as they embark on the next stage of their education journey."
