"It has become an annual tradition to get our new primary one twins together and it is great fun for them and their family and friends, and they all look so resplendent in their uniforms," said Provost Drew McKenzie.

"For most, it's a dress rehearsal for Friday when it's back to the classroom for staff and pupils here in Inverclyde."

The students starting primary school this year will take the Inverclyde twin count to an impressive 157 sets since 2013, which is an average of 13 sets each year.
