‘Twinverclyde’ seeing double as 10 sets of twins prepare to start school
Six pairs gathered together on Tuesday ahead of their first day of primary one on Friday.
Ten sets of twins are set to start primary school in one area of Scotland, marking the fourth consecutive year the twin count has hit double figures.
Dubbed “Twinverclyde” for its high volume of twins, the 20 children will start at various schools across Inverclyde on Friday.
This year marks the fourth in a row of 10 or more sets of twins starting primary one in Inverclyde, with double figures in 10 out of the last 12 years.
He said: “You know it’s back to school time when we start to see this year’s inductees to our ‘twinverclyde’ hall of fame.
“For most, it’s a dress rehearsal for Friday when it’s back to the classroom for staff and pupils here in Inverclyde.
The lowest since 2013 was in 2018, where just four pairs of twins began school.
